    IRADe-SARI/EI-2017-WP-02 PROCEEDINGS SARI/EI Think Tank Forum India Workshop for South Asia Regional Energy Co-operation Date: 27th October, 2016 Venue: Hotel Le Meridien, New Delhi, India Prepared by: SARI/EI Project Secretariat, IRADe Disclaimer This workshop is made possible by the support of American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The content of the proceedings do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe) does not guarantee the accuracy of the data included in this publication and accepts no responsibility for any consequences of their use. © Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe) 2017. 2 Foreword The USAID’s South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy Integration (SARI/EI) program builds energy security, clean energy access and energy markets in the South Asia region through cross-border electricity trade (CBET). The region has experienced a per capita GDP growth rate of more than six percent in last five years. In order to sustain this growth, provide opportunities for entrepreneurs, and continue to develop new job opportunities, it is imperative that the countries in the region have access to clean energy. However, existing power shortages and high reliance on fossil fuels, along with rapidly increasing electricity demand are threating to undermine economic progress. South Asia has a diverse range of energy resources with a large potential for hydropower. Systemic development of hydropower plants, along with transmission infrastructure and a market based regional power trading system will help to optimize utilization of regional energy resources.

  • India: Domestic Issues, Strategic Dynamics, and U.S. Relations
    India: Domestic Issues, Strategic Dynamics, and U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt, Coordinator Specialist in South Asian Affairs Paul K. Kerr Analyst in Nonproliferation Michael F. Martin Specialist in Asian Affairs Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs September 1, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33529 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress India: Domestic Issues, Strategic Dynamics, and U.S. Relations Summary South Asia emerged in the 21st century as increasingly vital to core U.S. foreign policy interests. India, the region’s dominant actor with more than one billion citizens, is often characterized as a nascent great power and “indispensable partner” of the United States, one that many analysts view as a potential counterweight to China’s growing clout. Since 2004, Washington and New Delhi have been pursuing a “strategic partnership” based on shared values and apparently convergent geopolitical interests. Numerous economic, security, and global initiatives, including plans for civilian nuclear cooperation, are underway. This latter initiative—first launched in 2005 and codified in U.S. law in 2008—reversed three decades of U.S. nonproliferation policy, but has not been implemented to date. Also in 2005, the United States and India signed a ten-year defense framework agreement to expanding bilateral security cooperation. The two countries now engage in numerous and unprecedented combined military exercises, and major U.S. arms sales to India are underway. The value of all bilateral trade tripled from 2004 to 2008 and continues to grow; significant two-way investment also flourishes. The influence of a large, relatively wealthy, and increasingly influential Indian-American community is reflected in Congress’s largest country- specific caucus.
