Kulturně historické determinanty zahraniční politiky: Případová studie Indie

This bachelor’s thesis examines the influence of cultural and historical determinants on India’s foreign policy during the Narendra Modi administration. It focuses on the cultural-value paradigm of Indian society and aims to identify which cultural and historical factors influence India’s foreign policy behavior and how these determinants are reflected in specific strategies and official discourse. Based on a paradigmatic analysis and Hofstede’s model of cultural dimensions, the thesis defines the key features of Indian culture and their relationship to the formation of foreign policy. Subsequently, India’s foreign policy since 2014 is analyzed, with a focus on the strategy of multi-alignment and India’s growing role as a global actor. The theoretical conclusions are verified through a content analysis of selected speeches by Indian political leaders, which demonstrates the presence of cultural motifs in contemporary foreign policy discourse.
