The Kashmir problem is the most intractable part of the 50-year dispute between India and Pakistan. While scholars and statesmen have long analyzed the political dimensions of the problem, the economic dimensions have received much less attention. This study is an effort to address this lack of economic content in thinking on Kashmir.
Reinventing Partnership
The world from Delhi and from Washington -- The economic engine -- Energy: where economics meets strategy -- Shaping a security relationship -- Nuclear and high-tech cooperation: getting beyond the taboos -- The neighborhood: South and Central Asia -- Looking East: India and East Asia -- The Middle East: Israel, the Gulf, and Iran -- The other global powers -- Global governance -- A new partnership, a changing world. - "India and the United States in the 21st Century: Reinventing Partnership examines the astonishing new strategic partnership between the United States and India. Unlike other books on the subject, it brings together the two countries' success in forging bilateral relations and their relatively skimpy record of seeking common ground on global and regional issues. This book proposes a policy of inclusion and candor, with the United States taking the partnership global and regional by helping to move India into global councils of leadership."--Jacket.
This study is intended to help U.S. policymakers and others concerned with one of the world's most volatile regions understand how Pakistan's internal dynamics relate to the region's peace and stability and to identify the tools the United States has to try to influence developments in a constructive way.
