印度南极政策的变迁

On Evolution of India's Antarctic Policy

20世纪50年代,印度提出了旨在实现联合国托管的南极洲国际化建议,但因美国等国的反对而失败。1980年代初,因为对资源、战略等因素的考虑,印度登上南极建站,加入南极条约并很快获得协商国资格,成为南极条约的积极支持者。此后,印度措施频出,在南极事业中取得可观成绩。

India proposed internationalization of the Antarctic in the 1950s with an aim to realize the trustee of the continent to the United Nations. India's such a proposal met a failure due to the opposition of certain countries headed by the United States. In view of the continent's rich resources and strategic significance, India landed the Antarctic and set up a scientific observation station in early 1980s, joined the Antarctic Treaty, and soon acquired the status of a consultative state and became an active supporter of the Antarctic Treaty. Since then, New Delhi has initiated policy measures one after another and achieved a lot.
