Gulieva, E.F. Politics of India in BRICS at the current stage of development.

Abstract: In the XXI century India is among the world powers, which is supported by its active foreign policy, and the relations with the USA are key to it. However, in spite of a number of important strategic contracts, there are serious foreign political contradictions between these states due to India’s membership in BRICS and widening of the scope of relations with other important geo-political centers, such as Russia, China, South Africa, etc. Such contradictions have caused a number of negative publications in the American mass media for the purpose of information and psychological influence upon India. The methodological basis for the study was formed by the systemic, structural-functional, comparative, cultural-civilization approaches, methods of induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, observation, analogy, content analysis. Based upon the main results of the studies the author concludes that within the framework of the strategic plans the number one priority should be information management, which should be aimed at the development of the information-communication channels for the BRICS in order to achieve further cooperation among its members and promotion of positive reputation of its partners around the world. First of all, it is necessary to form and develop information blog portals among the BRICS Member States, its own mass media, which would connect the target audiences of these states, and there is also need to improve the work with the “new media”, which could be powerful means for neutralization of information threats from the opposition and competitors of this association.
