Abstract

SOLLER, Diana. The emergence of India and the American liberal order: notes on future challenges. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2014, n.44, pp.09-24. ISSN 1645-9199.

The direct or indirect use of the democratic peace thesis with power transition theory and the preeminent rise of China among emergent powers led to a systematic disregard of the role of rising democracies in the upcoming international order. This article studies India’s case and concludes that rising democracies also challenge the current normative basis of states’ relations, in a different way than autocracies. New Delhi’s foreign policy in recent years suggests that the theoretical tools are not fully adequate to address these cases.

Keywords : United States; India; power transition; Democratic Peace Thesis.
