Geoeconomics of Sanctions: India’s Strategic Engagement with Russia under Western Sanction Regimes

Author(s) Dr. RAKESH KUMAR
Country India
Abstract India is adapting its strategic engagement with other countries as a result of the imposition of western sanctions on Russia due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In this paper, we analyze the expanding relationship between India and Russia during this time through the lens of the three areas of energy trade, defense cooperation and multilateral frameworks. We also show that India has utilized the ability to purchase low-cost Russian crude oil and the creation of joint ventures as a means of reducing domestic economic pressures for India, while assisting Russia in its attempts to circumvent western sanctions. Ultimately, our findings indicate that such relationships have increased India’s autonomous decision-making capabilities; challenged the effectiveness of western sanctions; and contributed to the development of a multi-polar global economic structure. However, secondary sanctions by the west and potential disruptions to supply chains continue to be risks to India’s foreign policy, which can lead to geoeconomic trade-offs. Our research indicates that India’s actions are an example of continued resilient bilateralism in a time when the world is being governed by economics.
