The three pillars of India's foreign policy strategy under an overarching preference for 'strategic autonomy' are security, economic development, and status. Japan plays a significant part with respect to all three. We employ an analytical framework that assesses how Narendra Modi, in line with a trend set in motion by his predecessors, has attempted to build the India-Japan partnership through a set of nested strategic partnerships: bilateral (India-Japan), trilateral (India-Japan-United States) and quadrilateral (India-Japan-United States-Australia). We examine the extent to which Modi has contributed to the strengthening of each of these partnerships with respect to institutionalisation, security, economic interaction and status. Our findings show the degree of continuity or change wrought by Modi in each case and the reasons for this. We conclude that Modi's transformative impact has been limited, though he has been able to take two of the three strategic partnerships forward to a significant extent.
在对“战略自主”有着总体偏好的情况下，印度外交政策战略的三大支柱是安全、经济发展和地位。日本在这三方面都发挥着重要作用。我们采用一种分析框架，来评估纳伦德拉·莫迪如何遵循其前任开创的趋势，试图通过一系列嵌套式战略伙伴关系来构建印日伙伴关系：双边（印日）、三边（印日美）和四边（印日美澳）。我们考察莫迪在多大程度上推动了这些伙伴关系在制度化、安全、经济互动和地位方面的强化。我们的研究结果显示了莫迪在每种情况下所带来的连续性或变化程度及其原因。我们得出结论，莫迪的变革性影响有限，尽管他在很大程度上推动了三项战略伙伴关系中的两项向前发展。
