U.S.-India Initiative
The economic, political, and military rise of India is reshaping world politics and promises to make India both a true global power and one of the most important bilateral partners for the United States. Unfortunately, this reality has neither translated into sophisticated strategic engagement by Washington nor a clear articulation of long-term American interests. This project - which was publicly launched at an event in New Delhi on January 12, 2010, featuring Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao - will lay out a blueprint for the next phase of the U.S.-India relationship and advance growing bilateral ties in areas of mutual interest, including security, economics, energy and climate change, democracy and human rights.
In addition to convening high-level bipartisan discussions with both American and Indian policymakers as well as producing a series of papers on the above issues, CNAS will produce a major report – authored by CNAS Board of Directors members Richard Armitage, former Deputy Secretary of State, and Ambassador R. Nicholas Burns – that will lay out a strategic framework for understanding U.S.-India relations and details a path forward for this critical relationship.
