La diplomacia india y rusa de la vacuna en sus esferas de influencia en épocas de pandemia
Indian and Russian Vaccine Diplomacy in Their Spheres of Influence in Pandemic Times
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Nuevas aristas emergen en las dinámicas de la política internacional, no solo a nivel global, sino en las distintas regiones del mundo, tras la aparición de la pandemia de la covid-19. Este artículo se propone caracterizar el uso de las vacunas como herramienta diplomática por parte de India y Rusia sobre sus regiones de influencia tradicional: el sur y el centro de Asia. La investigación hace uso del estudio de caso y se basa en el procesamiento e interpretación de fuentes primarias y secundarias, entre agosto de 2020 y noviembre de 2021. Rusia intensifica su presencia en Asia Central, donde su vacuna tiene mayor arraigo y aceptación, e India recobra su influencia en países vecinos como Nepal y Sri Lanka. Al tiempo que buscan mejorar su prestigio regional, sus acciones contrarrestan la creciente injerencia de China en estas dos regiones. Los beneficios de estas dos potencias medias asiáticas se concentran en un aumento de su prestigio internacional, oportunidades de comercio y contrapeso a China; además de que inciden en las decisiones de otros países, que se tambalean entre una política exterior alineada y multivectorial.
