Abstract In the past, India’s resolve to connect with countries further to its east centred on its relationship with ASEAN as a group and lacked a holistic outlook as it emphasised on a lopsided approach that left out the security dimension. The bilateral relationship between Bangkok and New Delhi marks an emerging departure from this past trend. In the recent past, Thailand has emerged as a bright spot in India’s vast array of security relationships, with growing focus on maritime security, counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations, joint patrols and exchange of personnel in training. Besides boosting interoperability, increasing joint actions seek to marry India’s Act East policy with Thailand’s Look West policy, both of which emerged in the past decade of the twentieth century. Both countries look to strengthening their resolve in the Indo-Pacific, even as the region’s stability gets further complicated by sharpening Great Power politics. This article scrutinises the India–Thailand relationship from a security perspective and tests the compatibility of this emerging bilateral relationship with a regional security architecture conceptualisation in the Indo-Pacific. As such, this article seeks to fulfil two important goals: fill the literature deficit in India–Thailand relations that has often been eclipsed and subsequently neglected by the overarching canvass of India–ASEAN relations and analyse India–Thailand bilateral relations from the perspective of an emerging security partnership in the complex labyrinth of relationships in the Indo-Pacific.

印泰安全合作：加强印太决心

摘要 过去，印度决心与更远的东方国家建立联系，以与东盟作为一个整体的关系为中心，缺乏整体观，强调一种不平衡的做法，忽略了安全层面。曼谷和新德里之间的双边关系标志着与过去趋势的新背离。最近，泰国已成为印度众多安全关系中的一个亮点，越来越关注海上安全、反叛乱和反恐行动、联合巡逻和培训人员交流。除了提高互操作性外，越来越多的联合行动寻求将印度的东向政策与泰国的向西政策结合起来，这两者都出现在 20 世纪的过去十年。两国都希望加强在印太地区的决心，即使该地区的稳定因大国政治的尖锐化而变得更加复杂。本文从安全角度审视印泰关系，并检验这种新兴双边关系与印太地区安全架构概念的兼容性。因此，本文试图实现两个重要目标：填补印泰关系中经常被印度-东盟关系总体所掩盖并随后被忽视的文献缺陷，并从一个角度分析印泰双边关系。印度-太平洋地区错综复杂的关系中新兴的安全伙伴关系。即使该地区的稳定因大国政治的尖锐化而变得更加复杂。本文从安全角度审视印泰关系，并检验这种新兴双边关系与印太地区安全架构概念的兼容性。因此，本文试图实现两个重要目标：填补印泰关系中经常被印度-东盟关系总体所掩盖并随后被忽视的文献缺陷，并从一个角度分析印泰双边关系。印度-太平洋地区错综复杂的关系中新兴的安全伙伴关系。即使该地区的稳定因大国政治的尖锐化而变得更加复杂。本文从安全角度审视印泰关系，并检验这种新兴双边关系与印太地区安全架构概念的兼容性。因此，本文试图实现两个重要目标：填补印泰关系中经常被印度-东盟关系总体所掩盖并随后被忽视的文献缺陷，并从一个角度分析印泰双边关系。印度-太平洋地区错综复杂的关系中新兴的安全伙伴关系。本文从安全角度审视印泰关系，并检验这种新兴双边关系与印太地区安全架构概念的兼容性。因此，本文试图实现两个重要目标：填补印泰关系中经常被印度-东盟关系总体所掩盖并随后被忽视的文献缺陷，并从一个角度分析印泰双边关系。印度-太平洋地区错综复杂的关系中新兴的安全伙伴关系。本文从安全角度审视印泰关系，并检验这种新兴双边关系与印太地区安全架构概念的兼容性。因此，本文试图实现两个重要目标：填补印泰关系中经常被印度-东盟关系总体所掩盖并随后被忽视的文献缺陷，并从一个角度分析印泰双边关系。印度-太平洋地区错综复杂的关系中新兴的安全伙伴关系。
