About this book

The evolving U.S.-Indian strategic partnership holds great potential for both countries. India's economic growth and its ties to the United States can assist its global rise, which contributes to keeping the peace in Asia, provided New Delhi and Washington sustain concerted cooperation. And India's emerging markets promise to be the key instrument for enlarging India's power while remaining a rich opportunity for U.S. businesses. The 2008 U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Agreement did away with the biggest obstacle in the relationship -- India's murky status in the global nonproliferation regime. Both sides must now take steps to make the partnership fruitful.
