Pivotal States: What Direction for the U.S.-India Partnership?

After decades of estrangement, cooperation between the United States and India has boomed in recent years, driven to a significant degree by rising tensions with China.

Yet for all the optimism about the trajectory of U.S.-India relations, important questions remain unanswered. Does strategic competition with China simply mask more difficult problems in the U.S.-India relationship, like disagreements on trade or India’s relationship with Russia? Do the United States and India even see eye-to-eye on how to respond to the various challenges posed by China? What other steps might the United States take to unlock the potential of its partnership with India?
