A Study of Non-Traditional Security Cooperation Between India and the European Union

In today’s world, globalization brings with it a variety of opportunities and challenges, and the intertwining of traditional and non-traditional security threats creates complex challenges to national security. In the face of increasingly complex non-traditional security issues such as climate change, terrorism, and public health incidents, international cooperation has become an important option. India, a country that is rapidly emerging as a significant power in the Indo-Pacific region, has demonstrated its growing economic and military strength, as well as its active involvement in global governance. In this context, the European Union (EU), a unique normative force, has also increased its focus on India in recent years and is actively approaching India. This paper seeks to explore the dynamics of cooperation between India and the EU in the realm of non-traditional security. It delves into the historical background, the current state of collaboration, and the prevailing challenges that lie ahead. The study of non-traditional security cooperation between India and the EU could potentially serve as a valuable reference for the future non-traditional security cooperation between China and Europe and China and India. Additionally, it could contribute to enhancing global non-traditional security cooperation between the North and South.
