💨 Abstract

The Australian think-tank Lowy Institute ranks India third in its annual Asia Power Index, surpassing Japan due to strong post-COVID economic growth. China's power remains just below the United States. The index evaluates countries' capacity to influence their external environment, with factors such as economic growth, diplomatic influence, and future potential considered for India's rise. However, the report notes that India's influence is below its potential resources.
