This paper explores how South Korea and India have taken positions between the United States and the People’s Republic of China over diverse foreign policy issues. By adopting dual engagement and strategic ambiguity as hedging strategies, both regional powers reduce their vulnerability to the influence and pressure of the two great powers. Thanks to their strategic importance and prominence in regional politics enhanced by such strategies, South Korea and India can independently pursue their foreign policy preferences to a great extent. The analysis of voting behavior of these regional powers in the United Nations General Assembly between 1991 and 2018 confirms our expectations.

本文探讨了韩国和印度如何在美国和中华人民共和国之间就各种外交政策问题采取立场。通过采用双重参与和战略模糊性作为对冲策略，这两个地区大国都降低了其对两个大国的影响和压力的脆弱性。由于这些战略的战略重要性和在区域政治中的突出地位，韩国和印度可以在很大程度上独立追求其外交政策偏好。对这些地区大国在1991年至2018年期间在联合国大会中的投票行为进行的分析证实了我们的期望。
