Analisis Bantuan Luar Negeri India Sebagai Emerging Donor Terhadap Krisis Ekonomi di Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka was hit by the worst economic crisis in its history, especially since gaining independence in 1948. The economic crisis reached the point where Sri Lanka declared itself unable to pay its debts or was in default. India, as a neighboring country and emerging donor, has emerged to help Sri Lanka restore its economy. India is providing foreign assistance totaling USD 5 billion in 2022 to Sri Lanka. This research aims to analyze India's interests in providing foreign assistance to recover from the Sri Lankan economic crisis using the concept of national interest explained by Nuechterlein. Nuechterlein's concept of national interests consists of four interests, namely economic interests, defense interests, ideological interests, and world order interests. This research uses a qualitative approach whose explanation is descriptive with secondary data obtained through library study techniques. Based on the analysis carried out, of the four interests, there are three interests that are the most prominent and behind India's allocation of foreign aid to the Sri Lankan economic crisis, namely economic interests, defense interests and world order interests
