Polityka rozwojowa w strategii międzynarodowej Indii wobec Afryki u progu XXI wieku

At the turn of the 21st century India has embarked upon a new policy towards the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, with development policy as one of its major features. This resulted from the fact that socio-economic and developmental issues became crucial for India in the post-Cold War era. The leaders of these countries realized that in the face of the globalization of economic processes and the increased importance of inter-dependencies, economic reforms are essential. Despite significant differences between the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, they share the desire to overcome socioeconomic limitations and to achieve sustained economic development. Furthermore, the Chinese factor is a major determinant of cooperation between India and Sub-Saharan Africa. India and China compete with each other for access to raw energy materials in Africa, as well as in terms of political and economic interests in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. India's relations with these countries also reflect a new policy and new approach to development issues, characterized by pragmatism, economization and the discarding of rhetoric and ideology, which are features of the new non-alignment.
