India's multialignment strategy, driven by self-interest rather than pure ideology, actively shapes its position within the international order, creating both synergy and friction with the United States. Originating from its post-colonial identity and desire for a more representative global system, this approach evolved from historical nonalignment into a pragmatic pursuit of strong bilateral ties with multiple major powers. India has consistently pushed for increased representation in global governance structures like the United Nations and international financial institutions. This strategy guides India's significant relationships with the US, France, Russia, and Israel, reflecting a nuanced foreign policy that balances shared interests with independent action. Even as tactical shifts occur, multialignment is expected to remain India’s core strategy, compelling partners like Washington to find cooperative approaches despite occasional disagreements.
