An Unnatural Partnership? The Future of U.S.-India Strategic Cooperation

Abstract

Across Democratic and Republican administrations, the United States has confronted the rise and growing assertiveness of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) in Asia. Faced with the PRCs role in Asia and beyond, the United States needs a viable strategic partner to balance the power of the PRC. Given Indias own misgivings about the PRC, it should serve as a natural partner. However, historical, cultural, and structural factors have inhibited the process of strategic cooperation. This monograph identifies the principal hurdles to cooperation and seeks to identify possiblepathways toward a possible U.S.-India partnership.
