| Summary: | The concept of ‘proto-regimes’ is a useful analytical tool in investigating various quasi multilateral organizations which have come up during the post-Cold War period. ‘Proto-regimes’, according to the scholar, have emerged as the post-1991 scenario in international affairs. We have witnessed activities where regional and trans-regional organizations, focused on cooperation between actors, have taken shape, and seek to impinge on sovereignty of states through common commitments but in a strongly qualified manner. At issue are also values initiatives of new Russia under the Putin presidency that privilege engagements within a sharply delimited cultural range – values that endow Russian policy with a degree of introversion or “nationalism”. The article analyses the evolving relations between India and Russia in recent decades in terms of greater multilateral involvement within the conceptual framework of proto-regimes.
