Synopsis

While still premature in the eyes of editors BoquÉrat (international relations, Centre Sciences Humaines, India) and Grare (former director of the Centre Sciences Humaine) the idea of a triangular strategic partnership between India, China, and Russia is recently being discussed with more seriousness among policy-makers and analysts alike. The editors present five contributions that examine the evolution and current realities of the triangular relationship in light of the idea of the strategic partnership. Topics include historical precedents to the proposal, the role of the US in shaping the relationships between the three countries, the incentives for a strategic triangle when it comes to the issue of ballistic missile defense, Chinese approaches to Russia and India as a means of increasing its own international stature, and the feasibility of "Confidence Building Measures (CBMs)" as a means of addressing disputes between the countries.
