“…Jacques Hymans (2009) and A.P. Rana (1969) both trace Nehru's non-alignment to Gandhi's influence. They both believe that Nehru's non-alignment policy is the "maintenance of the structure of international society" and serves to "perplex, anger, shame and ultimately transform the world" (Hymans, 2009, p. 248;A.…”

India and China, two competing developing nations in the Global South, are the two most populous countries in the world. In the twenty-first century, China not only became the nation with the fastest rate of economic growth globally and a rising rival to the West, but also started to focus its outward strategy on attracting developing nations in the global south with its Belt and Road Initiative. This initiative, which seeks to speed up development by financing infrastructure and connectivity projects, should appeal to India, which also seeks to accelerate its development but has a significant infrastructure deficit. India, however, declined to take part in this program. The causes and consequences of this rejection are examined in this dissertation; it weighs both realist and constructivist explanations and comes down in favor of constructivist explanations rooted in the construction of "self" and "other". This dissertation examines India's rationale towards its encounters with China by taking the historical and cultural contexts of the construction of state identity into account. The theory of identity formation in relation to self

The Brandt Line is a way of visualising the world that highlights the disparities and inequalities between the wealthy North and the poorer Global South. Forty years after its popularisation as part of a call for global reform, is the Brandt Line now a misleading way of representing world politics? This article assesses whether the Global South has lost its distinctiveness and coherence relative to the North since 1980. Existing assessments of global inequality do not settle the question of whether the North–South divide remains relevant for international relations because they overlook the most politically significant measures of inequality. Drawing on power transition theory, this article provides a systematic assessment of the North–South divide in terms of levels of economic development, relative inequality, economic power, and political satisfaction. The evidence suggests that the Brandt Line is largely intact. Although the economic diversity of the South has increased and its collective economic power has risen, relative income rankings remain unaltered and the states of the Global South are as dissatisfied as they were four decades ago. Differential growth rates are reshaping world politics without eroding the North–South divide traced by the Brandt Line.
