    Después de la Guerra Fría, India sometió su política de no alineación a un proceso de autocrítica y de redefinición. Aparentemente, se articuló una nueva política exterior: asertiva, pero concomitante con la gobernanza global. No obstante, al examinar el discurso oficial y contrastarlo con la evidencia empírica es posible notar no solo las tensiones y las inestabilidades de la narrativa, sino también la continuidad normativa de la no alineación. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la práctica del multilateralismo en la política exterior india a partir de las experiencias de la SAARC y los BRICS. El argumento central es que la política exterior india caracteriza al multilateralismo y la gobernanza global en tanto limitante del interés y la soberanía nacionales.

    After the Cold War, India was forced to examine its non-alignment policy. Apparently, a new foreign policy was shaped. It was more ambitious in defining the scope of India’s global interests yet, complying with global governance. But despite this appearance, when official discourse is analyzed and contrasted with evidence, it is possible to note not only the tensions and instabilities in the narrative, but also the continuities of non-alignment. This article aims to investigate the practice of multilateralism in Indian foreign policy considering the cases of SAARC, and BRICS. The article traces the consistencies in how foreign policy has been conceived: restricting multilateralism as well as global governance, and securing India’s national interest and sovereignty.
