Due to the reawakening of nationalist sentiments and focus on economic challenges, the authorities will not agree to China’s military presence and will want to develop pragmatic cooperation with various partners. This creates space for the U.S. and the EU to become more involved in relations with the Maldives, including in the fields of defence, economic development, and climate change.}, title={Maldives Sees Growing Role in the Indo-Pacific Power Competition}, type={file}, keywords={Malediwy, Chiny, Indie, Indo-Pacyfik, status i rola w systemie międzynarodowym, rywalizacja państw, polityka zagraniczna, dwustronne stosunki międzynarodowe, wybory parlamentarne}, }
