  • US Nuclear Cooperation with India
    U.S. Nuclear Cooperation with India: Issues for Congress Paul K. Kerr Analyst in Nonproliferation June 26, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33016 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress U.S. Nuclear Cooperation with India: Issues for Congress Summary India, which has not signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and does not have International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards on all of its nuclear material, exploded a “peaceful” nuclear device in 1974, convincing the world of the need for greater restrictions on nuclear trade. The United States created the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) as a direct response to India’s test, halted nuclear exports to India a few years later, and worked to convince other states to do the same. India tested nuclear weapons again in 1998. However, President Bush announced July 18, 2005, he would “work to achieve full civil nuclear energy cooperation with India” and would “also seek agreement from Congress to adjust U.S. laws and policies,” in the context of a broader partnership with India. U.S. nuclear cooperation with other countries is governed by the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) of 1954 (P.L. 95-242). However, P.L. 109-401, which President Bush signed into law on December 18, 2006, allows the President to waive several provisions of the AEA. On September 10, 2008, President Bush submitted to Congress, in addition to other required documents, a written determination that P.L. 109-401’s requirements for U.S. nuclear cooperation with India to proceed had been met. President Bush signed P.L.

Washington University Global Studies Law Review VOLUME 8 NUMBER 1 2009 EXPANDING JUDICIARIES: INDIA AND THE RISE OF THE GOOD GOVERNANCE COURT NICK ROBINSON∗ ABSTRACT In recent years, courts have risen in power across the world, and the Indian Supreme Court has rightly been pointed to as an example of this global trend. In many ways the Indian Court has become a court of good governance that sits in judgment over the rest of the Indian government. This Article argues that the Court has expanded its mandate as a result of the shortcomings (real, perceived, or feared) of India’s representative institutions. The Indian Supreme Court’s institutional structure has also aided its rise and helps explain why the Court has gained more influence than most other judiciaries.

The fog of defeat can be even more debilitating: the comfort of denial and post-defeat rationalization are its natural offspring. The Indian National Congress Party’s comprehensive defeat in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) elections in April 2012 has added to its growing list of recent electoral setbacks and its public response has followed a time-worn typescript. Swinging between defensiveness and despair, its official statements have ranged from the technical “this was not my election” response by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to the carefully crafted “it was a local election” comment by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Further down the pecking order, party spokespersons, struggling to find silver linings in the defeat, have half-haughtily, half-hopefully pointed out that they managed to win the last Delhi assembly election after a similar MCD rout in 2007. The lone public voice of introspection has come from East Delhi MP Sandeep Dikshit who, in the first pang of defeat, talked of a general anti-Congress mood, a disconnect between the party and the people and national issues like price rise and corruption as key factors. The party has swiftly backtracked on this view but Dikshit, who is also the Chief Minister’s son, 1 Dr Nalin Mehta is Visiting Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), an autonomous research institute at the National University of Singapore, and at the Asia Research Institute.

Dr Lall was a Visiting Research Fellow at ISAS from April to August 2007. She can be reached at [email protected]. Executive Summary of Research Findings In light of India’s changing foreign policy over the last decade, Indo-Myanmar relations have also changed radically. The reasons thereof pertain principally to four factors: the economic development of India’s North East, India’s increased interest in trade with ASEAN, India’s search for energy security and increased Chinese involvement in Myanmar. This paper offers an in depth analysis of these issues, drawing on seven weeks of fieldwork during the summer of 2007 and over 50 interviews with officials and academics in both countries. The summary of the fieldwork is listed below. The paper concludes that, although today Indo-Myanmar relations have improved, India has, in essence, been too slow to develop this important relationship and is now loosing out to China.

  • Elections in Kashmir
    Elections in Kashmir December 5, 2002 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS21300 SUMMARY RS21300 Elections in Kashmir December 5, 2002 The United States welcomed the successful October conclusion of 2002 elections in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, where nearly half of the electorate cast ballots. The K. Alan Kronstadt elections resulted in the ousting of the long-dominant National Conference party, allies Specialist in South Asian of the national coalition-leading Bharatiya Janata Party, thus bolstering the credibility of Affairs the process and dampening criticism from some quarters that the elections were flawed or “farcical.” The opposition Indian National Congress and the regional People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won a combined 36 seats in the state assembly, and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi agreed to a first-ever power-sharing coalition. PDP leader Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has assumed the office of Chief Minister vowing to bring a “healing touch” to state politics. His “common minimum program” includes controversial policies — including the freeing of jailed political prisoners — that have been lauded by some and criticized by others. The new government’s seeming moderation has brought renewed hopes for peace in the troubled region. The United States had urged the holding of free and fair elections to be followed by renewed dialogue between India and Pakistan to resolve their long-running dispute. India has made clear that it will not engage such dialogue until Islamabad has put an end to cross-border infiltration of Islamic militants into Indian-held Kashmir. Following the elections, New Delhi announced a major troop redeployment after a tense ten-month standoff at the India-Pakistan frontier.

  • Modi's Foreign Policy Fundamentals
    Modi’s foreign policy fundamentals: a trajectory unchanged RAJESH BASRUR The advent of Narendra Modi to the Indian premiership aroused considerable expectations about India’s place in world politics. In the closing years of the last millennium, the spurt in India’s economic growth and its 1998 nuclear tests appeared to signal that the country was poised to become a major player in Asian and eventually global politics. The India–US nuclear agreement of 2005, which allowed India to bypass the tightening rules of nuclear commerce despite its refusal to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), seemed to symbolize the restructuring of the global balance of power, bringing Washington and New Delhi together to counter the rise of China. Yet, barely a decade later, the Manmohan Singh government (2004–2014) appeared to be irresolute and reluctant to press on with the task of consolidating India’s position. Modi’s election in May 2014 was widely viewed as signifying a more decisive phase in the country’s foreign policy, especially after he launched his tenure as prime minister with a flurry of overseas visits to large and small powers alike. There were three reasons for the high expectations of change. First, Modi’s personal style is starkly different from that of his predecessor. Singh was a low-key leader, inclined to position himself as primus inter pares and collegial in decision- making, while Modi is charismatic and authoritative. Singh was media-shy and bland in his public style, whereas Modi quickly displayed his media skills through orchestrated media events and the effective use of mass media such as Facebook and Twitter.1 The 2014 election manifesto of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) clearly carried his personal stamp, proclaiming a determination to ‘fundamentally reboot and reorient the foreign policy goals, content and process, in a manner that locates India’s global strategic engagement in a new paradigm’.2 Second, Singh was hampered by serious political constraints.
