IRAN AND INDIA BETWEEN REGIONAL GOVERNANCE AND GLOBAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

In a intimately interdependent global environment where one’s prosperity depends on the contacts realised with others, isolating one government or community is not only improbable but dangerous because the respective government might go rogue and in peril to be colonised by the most radical elements of its own nation. Such might be the case of Iran if US and other important players toss away JPCOA. Instead of playing according to a zero sum antagonistic logic, Washington might find neighbors of Iran and employ them so as to forge a partnership with Tehran. As such, a friendly Islamic Republic could a solution to many of the problems in the Middle East. Present study focuses hypothesis around a central questions: ”Are two civilisational-states such as India and Iran able to start an alliance in order to fill the power void looming across their borders where an unstable Pakistan and a revanchist Afghanistan may very well fail after the pull out of the international peacekeeping force?” subsequently a second question comes to fore: ”Why is there no Iranian-Indian alliance up until now?” This article argues that India may play an appeasing role towards Tehran ambitions due to geographical proximity and civilisational needs. If they establish a common ground, both republics may work together towards shouldering regional evolution in the AfPak cauldron. Furthermore, the article aims to use Robert Keohane’s regime theory applied to the area mentioned above.
