  • India's Heavy Hedge Against China, and Its New Look to the United
    29 India’s Heavy Hedge Against China, and its New Look to the United States to Help Daniel Twining 30 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies China and India together account for one-third of humanity. Both were advanced civilizations when Europe was in the Dark Ages. Until the 19th century, they constituted the world’s largest economies. Today they are, in terms of purchasing power, the world’s largest and third-largest national economies, and the fastest-growing major economies. Were they to form an alliance, they would dominate mainland Eurasia and the sea lanes of the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific that carry a preponderance of the world’s maritime energy trade. Yet these civilization-states seem destined to compete in the 21st century. India is engaged in a heavy hedge against China—although its history of non-alignment, traditional rhetoric of anti-Americanism, the dominance until recently of analysts’ tendency to view India’s security mainly in terms of its subcontinental competition with Pakistan, and the tendency for emerging market analysts to hyphenate India and China as rising economies can obscure this reality. Tactical cooperation in climate change talks and BRICS summits should not confuse us into seeing any kind of emerging India-China alignment in global affairs. Strategic rivalry of a quiet but steady nature characterizes their ties, to the point where it affects their relations with third countries: India’s relations with Russia have cooled substantially since President Putin’s tilt toward Beijing in the wake of Russia’s isolation from the West over Ukraine.

  • The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs March 23, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21852 The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Summary The UAE has been a significant U.S. partner in Gulf security for more than two decades, and the alliance has deepened further in the course of the current U.S.-led effort against the Islamic State organization. Under a 1994 U.S.-UAE defense cooperation agreement (DCA), about 5,000 U.S. military personnel are stationed at UAE military facilities that the United States uses, particularly the large Al Dhafra air base. The UAE was the first Gulf state to order the most sophisticated missile defense system sold by the United States (the THAAD), demonstrating support for U.S. efforts to assemble a regional missile defense network against Iran. The UAE, which has a longstanding territorial dispute with Iran, has also helped pressure Iran by implementing financial and economic sanctions against it. Suggesting continued wariness of Iranian ambitions in the Gulf, the UAE has sought U.S. assurances that the United States will maintain its commitment to Gulf security. Regionally, the UAE has become increasingly assertive against extremist Islamic organizations, to the point of undertaking even some unilateral military action in post-Qadhafi Libya. This UAE policy has led it to join U.S.-led airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria; to financially assist the military-led government of Egypt that ousted the elected Islamist president in 2013; to support moderate Islamist rebel groups in Syria; and to work against other Muslim Brotherhood-related organizations in the region such as Hamas.

  • The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S
    The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Updated August 16, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS21852 The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Summary The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been a significant U.S. partner in Gulf security, helping to address multiple regional threats by hosting U.S. military personnel at UAE military facilities and buying sophisticated U.S. military equipment, including missile defenses and combat aircraft. The alliance with the United States is expected to continue after UAE President Shaykh Khalifa bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan, who suffered an incapacitating stroke in January 2014, is succeeded by his younger brother and de-facto UAE leader Shaykh Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan. With ample financial resources and a military that has long been advised and armed by the United States, the UAE has increasingly asserting itself in the region. The UAE has been part of a Saudi- led military effort to pressure the Iran-backed Zaidi Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, an effort to which the United States provides logistical support but which has produced criticism over the effects of the war on Yemen’s civilians. That criticism has contributed to a July 2019 decision to remove most of the UAE’s ground forces from that conflict. UAE forces continue to support pro- UAE factions in southern Yemen and, alongside U.S. special operations forces, continue to combat Al Qaeda’s affiliate in that country. The UAE is supporting an anti-Islamist commander based in eastern Libya, Khalifa Hafter, who in April 2019 launched an assault to capture Tripoli from a U.N.-backed government based there.
