印度粮食出口贸易网络特征及其地缘战略
Characteristics of India's Food Export Trade Network and Its Geostrategy
摘要
Abstract
With the increasing prominence of global food security issues,strengthening the study of major food-trading countries is becoming increasingly important.India,which relies on its abundant food resources,is a major food export trade country.Food export has become an important aspect for India to strengthen its foreign trade and connections and establish its geostrategy.Therefore,there is an urgent need to intensify the research on India's food export trade and geostrategies.Based on the Food and Agriculture Organization food production,consumption,and trade data(2000-2021),a complex network was first used to analyze the characteristics of India's food trade network,which creates trade dependence on the premise of India's supply and other countries'demand.We then used interdependence theory to analyze the degree of food trade dependence between India and other countries.Based on this,India's geostrategic connotations as embodied in the food trade are discussed in depth.The results show that:(1)India has strong food production and export capacity,especially as the world's largest rice exporter.India's food trade network is gradually expanding and its position and influence on the global food trade network are constantly increasing.(2)Regarding the interdependence of food trade between India and other countries,the destinations of India's food exports are primarily distributed across South Asia,West Asia,West Africa,and other regions.The pattern of its food export trade shows that India is the center,gradually moving from its neighboring countries to regions with a long geographical distance.India's food export trade dependence on other countries shows a downward trend.The dependence of other countries(especially South Asia,East Africa,and West Africa)on India's food import trade has gradually increased,forming an asymmetric interdependence between these regions and India in the food trade.(3)Leveraging the interdependence as embodied in the food export trade,India is advancing its geostrategies.By implementing the"Neighborhood First"strategy,India has strengthened its dominance in South Asia,and used neighboring countries as a link to influence the"Greater Periphery."At the same time,in view of the"Greater Periphery,"India has deployed"Act East,""Link West,""Control South,"and"Connect North"policies,thus forming an all-round geostrategic pattern of"Four in One."Furthermore,using the"Greater Periphery"as a link,India continues to expand its economic and trade relations globally.Based on a comprehensive consideration of geostrategy,India has positioned the food trade as a key geostrategic tool.Through its growing food export trade,India has exchanged overseas resources,expanded its foreign economic and trade cooperation,and strengthened its international influence.This article aims to provide insights and references for the food trade and security of relevant countries and for the promotion of China's"Belt and Road"Initiative.关键词
