US-Indian Strategic Cooperation into the 21st Century - More than Words (Hardcover)

This work will bring together a series of perspectives on the question of U.S.-Indian strategic cooperation. The contributions in the book will assess past efforts, the present status and future directions of such cooperation.
An introductory chapter written by the editors will provide an overview of the entire volume identifying the key themes and issues. The next chapter will set out the strategic context for and logic behind India's emerging security cooperation with the United States. A parallel chapter will describe the strategic context for and logic behind growing U.S. security cooperation with India. A key impetus for the growing bilateral cooperation is the U.S.-led Global War on Terrorism. One chapter will provide a U.S. assessment of India's role in the anti-terror struggle, and another chapter will provide an Indian assessment of the U.S. worldwide anti-terror effort. An additional chapter will present a Chinese view of the growing security ties between Washington and New Delhi and bilateral cooperation in fighting terror. Another pair of chapters will review and assess military-to-military ties between the United States and India, one from the perspective of Washington, and the other from a New Delhi perspective. Both chapters will place their bilateral military ties in the context of each country's defense ties with other countries (e.g. Russia and China).
A further set of chapters will consider a critical area of global concern: the proliferation of ballistic missiles and weapons of mass destruction-especially nuclear technology, one from an Indian perspective and a second from a U.S. viewpoint. The issue of dual use technology will also be addressed in bothchapters. A final series of chapters will examine the controversial issue of peacekeeping. Different states and their armed forces tend to hold quite different views about under what circumstances a peacekeeping operation can be successfully executed and whether it should be a core mission for a military force. One chapter will present an Indian perspective, another chapter will provide a U.S. perspective and another will offer the perspective of a third country. Finally, a brief concluding chapter, written by the co-editors, will evaluate the evolving U.S.-Indian security ties and recommend possible paths for future development.
