英文摘要 |
Unexpectedly, while sharing many similarities, Australia and India relations have not been warm for more than six decades due to strategic and political reasons. With the advent of the 21st century, bilateral relations have become better off, given the changing international environment characterized by economization of international relations, regionalization of the world economy, rising China and the emergence of the G2 era. Against this background, this paper intends to explore the evolution of Australia-India relations since the beginning of this century, starting with their converging national interests and in particular, how leaders of the two countries have integrated their policies toward each other into their regional foreign policies corresponding to the changing international environment. The author will then review the current status of Australia-India ties, identify determining variables affecting the bilateral relationship, and finally predict the prospects of the bilateral interactions, challenges ahead and implications for the region. |
