This forum comes from a 2016 panel at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association. The forum participants offered midterm assessments of the foreign policy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This forum considers whether Modi heralded in a new era in Indian foreign policy, or whether Modi's policies just repackaged older policies. The authors in this forum answer these questions by focusing on a range of issues from the role of religion to economic issues, to the relations between India and major foreign partners. The authors conclude that while Modi has undeniably put a personal stamp on foreign policy, substantive changes have been minimal. The first significant change lies in the centralization of foreign policy decision-making in the Prime Minister's Office. Second, while religious diplomacy played an important role, the version of Hinduism that Modi has adopted in foreign affairs is more inclusive than the one on display in domestic politics. Third, India's foreign economic policy has adopted a distinct nationalist tone. Fourth, Modi has signaled a “neighborhood first” focus in foreign policy. Finally, despite attempts at imparting his personal stamp, India's foreign policy towards major partners and in most issue areas remains substantively similar to those of the previous administrations.

莫迪的印度外交政策：是新品牌还是重新包装？

该论坛来自国际研究协会年会的2016年座谈会。论坛参加者对印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪的外交政策进行了中期评估。该论坛探讨了莫迪是否预示着印度外交政策的新时代，或者莫迪的政策是否只是重新包装了旧政策。该论坛的作者通过关注一系列问题来回答这些问题，从宗教的角色到经济问题，再到印度与主要外国伙伴之间的关系。作者得出的结论是，尽管莫迪无可否认地在外交政策上施加了个人烙印，但实质性的变化却微乎其微。第一个重大变化是总理办公室的外交政策决策集中化。第二，宗教外交起着重要作用，莫迪在外交事务中采用的印度教版本比在国内政治中所展示的版本更具包容性。第三，印度的对外经济政策采取了鲜明的民族主义基调。第四，莫迪暗示了外交政策的“邻里优先”。最后，尽管曾试图给自己的个人盖章，但印度对主要合作伙伴以及在大多数发行领域的外交政策仍然与以前的政府大体相似。
