【 摘 要 】

This paper analyzes India's capacity to become a global superpower, as well as the major geopolitical foci of its foreign policy. The introduction notes that India's goal to become a global leader has been the subject of a national consensus since the former British colony became independent. The theoretical part shows that today's India is becoming close to China in some socio-economic aspects while still being poorer than China. The paper describes the following aspects of the Indian foreign policy: Indo-Pakistan relations, Indo-American relations, Indo-Russian relations, and Indo-Chinese relations. It is noted that relations with the United States is a priority for India. In this region, India mainly competes against Pakistan and China. Indo-Russian relations have become cooler since the collapse of the USSR. The paper concludes that in key aspects, India is indeed becoming a superpower.
