Abstract: The article aims to analyze the role of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in shaping India’s foreign policy towards the European Union (EU).

Its strategy towards the EU is influenced not only by domestic factors but also by external ones. Firstly, the article assesses the formal and informal mechanisms the BJP uses to shape Indian foreign policy. Next, it identifies the main factors influencing the BJP’s foreign policy toward the EU. Finally, it evaluates the importance of the BJP, as an example of a domestic actor, in forming India’s foreign policy toward the EU.
