Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States–India nuclear cooperation agreement to resume civilian nuclear technology trade with India—a non-signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and a defacto nuclear weapon state—is regarded as an impetuous shift in the US nuclear nonproliferation policy. The 2008 nuclear agreement aroused sharp reactions and unleashed a storm of controversies regarding the reversal of the US nonproliferation policy and its implications for the NPT regime. This book attempts to overcome the significant empirical and theoretical deficits in understanding the rationale for the change in the US nuclear nonproliferation policy toward India. This nuclear deal has been largely related to the US foreign policy objectives, especially establishing India as a regional counter-balance to China. The author examines the US–India nuclear cooperation agreement in a bilateral context, with regard to the nuclear regime. In past discourse India has been mainly viewed as a challenger to the nuclear regime, but this reflects the paucity in understanding India’s approach to the issue of nuclear weapons. The author relates the nuclear estrangement to the disjuncture between the US and India’s respective approach to nuclear weapons, evident during the negotiations that led to the framing of the NPT. The change in the US approach towards India, the nuclear outlier, has been exclusively linked to the Bush administration, which faced considerable criticism for sidelining the nonproliferation policy. This book instead traces the shifting of nuclear goalposts to the Clinton administration following the Pokhran II nuclear tests conducted by India. Contrary to the widespread perception that the decision to offer the nuclear technology to India was an impromptu decision by the Bush administration, the author contends that it was the result of a diligent process of bilateral dialogue and interaction. This book provides a detailed overview of the rationale and the developments that led to the agreement. Employing the regime theory, the author argues that the US–India nuclear agreement was neither an overturn of the US nuclear nonproliferation policy nor an unravelling of the NPT-centric regime. Rather, it was a strategic move to accommodate India, the anomaly within the regime.

Book excerpt: India is not a great power yet, but it has the potential to emerge as one. That is why, United States pays closer attention to India's role in the regional balance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The signing of the US–India civilian nuclear agreement in 2008 is a milestone in the geopolitics of the twenty-first century—one that has virtually rewritten the rules of the global nuclear order. It has also transformed the relationship between the world's oldest and largest democracies. Harsh V. Pant's book is the first detailed examination of this major policy initiative as well as the process by which this pact came to fruition. Pant identifies a range of issues at the structural, domestic, political, and individual levels that have shaped the recent trajectory of the US–India relationship. He analyses the three-year long negotiating process with a special focus on how political leaderships in both states managed domestic opposition to the pact. The author locates the agreement in the context of the broader debate over the role of international institutions in global politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US–India nuclear deal, popularly known as the 123 Agreement, announced by George W. Bush and Manmohan Singh on 18 July 2005, was a defining moment in the relationship of the two countries, as also India’s relationship with the non-proliferation regime. The Bush administration’s implied recognition of India’s nuclear weapons, and its abrupt reversal of three decades of sanctions to restore Indian access to nuclear fuel, reactors, and dual-use technologies despite being a non-proliferation treaty non-signatory, led to contentious debates in both India and the USA. A Debate to Remember emphasizes the multifaceted debate in India over the nuclear deal using concepts from science and technology studies. It focuses on the intense contestation over the civil-military mix of India’s separation plan, the competition between the Iran–Pakistan–India pipeline and the nuclear deal, the role of retired nuclear scientists, and the issue of liability that has stalled the full implementation of the nuclear deal. The impact of domestic factors on issues ranging from the civil-military status of breeder reactors to the Indian insistence on no restriction on future nuclear testing in the 123 Agreement is also revealed in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the important benchmarks of the India-US bilateral relationship, the landmark initiative was the India-United States Civil Nuclear Agreement. The framework of this initiative was established on July 18, 2005 when President George W. Bush and Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh issued a Joint communique. In this communiqu, President Bush termed India as a "responsible state with advanced nuclear technology" and stated that it "should acquire same benefits and advantages as other such states." Bush also assured Singh that "he will work to achieve full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India as it realizes its goals of energy security." Singh stated that India would "assume the same responsibilities and practices and acquire the same benefits and advantages as other leading countries with advanced nuclear technology." This book analyzes the controversial issues regarding the Agreement: the implications of the deal for India's nuclear weapons program, the country's independent foreign policy, and the South Asian security environment * the impact of the deal on the global nuclear non-proliferation regime * the role of nuclear energy in meeting India's long term energy requirements. By discussing the impact of important measures, the book provides a possible paradigm shift which may have long terms implications for the South Asian regional order and beyond.

Download or read book U S India Nuclear Cooperation written by Michael A. Levi and published by Council on Foreign Relations Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Council Speical Report concludes that if Congress does not approve the U.S.-India nuclear deal, " it would have a real and negative effect on the bilateral relationship." Congress should adopt a two-stage approach, formally endorsing the deal's basic framework, while delaying final approval until it is assured that critical nonproliferation needs are met. " Patience and a few simple fixes would address major proliferation concerns while ultimately strengthening the strategic partnership, " says the report. The authors, Michael A. Levi and Charles D. Ferguson, both Council fellows for science and technology, argue that " the Bush administration has stirred deep passions and put Congress in the seemingly impossible bind of choosing between approving the deal and damaging nuclear nonproliferation or rejecting the deal and thus setting back an important strategic relationship." But this is a false choice, they argue. Levi and Ferguson advise Congress to " reserve the bulk of its political capital for a handful of top-tier objectives. It should focus on preventing Indian nuclear testing, and fundamental changes in Indian nuclear strategy, rather than on blocking simple growth in the Indian nuclear stockpile. It should prioritize obtaining cooperationnot only from Indiain controlling the spread of sensitive nuclear technologies, over measures that would shape the development on nuclear technology in India itself."
