Questionable Assumptions and Unrealistic Expectations: Reassessing the U.S.- India Relationship

Abstract

Washington should conduct additional coordinated strategic analysis to closely examine India's strategic vantage point and increasingly sophisticated foreign policy choices. The U.S. government should reexamine the potential risks, benefits, and unintended consequences of a strategic partnership with India that intends ultimately to reshape the global order. The Obama administration should conduct a review of the strategic assumptions on which U.S. India policy rests to ensure the current path is best suited to furthering long-term U.S. interests.
