Economic and Soft Power Component of India’s City Diplomacy: With Special Reference to Mumbai and Kolkata

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

Las ciudades costeras de la India han jugado un papel fundamental en las relaciones inter­nacionales a través de la cultura, el comercio y la conectividad desde el pasado lejano. En los tiempos modernos, las ciudades costeras como Mumbai (antes Bombay) en la costa arábiga y Kolkata (antes Calcuta) en la bahía de Bengala han sido actores activos en los asuntos inter­nacionales. Si bien Mumbai ha sido el centro del comercio internacional, Kolkata ha sido el punto de unión de la bonhomía cultural con Bangladesh y los países del sudeste asiático, que ganó más fuerza debido a los movimientos transfronterizos de tecnología, información, educación, comercio y finanzas, y herramien­tas artísticas reforzadas por la Nueva Política Económica que comenzó a principios de los años noventa. Los estados indios y las ciudades metropolitanas están mejorando su posición en los asuntos internacionales con ganancias tangibles. Mumbai se conoce como la capital financiera de la India y la sede de grandes casas comerciales y organizaciones financieras glo­bales. Del mismo modo, Kolkata es conocida como la capital cultural de la India (Sri Auro­bindo, Tagore, Shanti Niketan, arte y cultura popular bengalí, etc.) y un destino para turis­tas, artistas e investigadores extranjeros. Este artículo examina el crecimiento y el impacto de la diplomacia de las ciudades en la India a tra­vés del prisma del federalismo en la promoción de los intereses locales en la política interna­cional. Intenta evaluar el papel de las ciudades indias desde una perspectiva comparativa en la conducción de la diplomacia de la ciudad a partir de los aspectos económicos y culturales.
