together essays by well-known scholars associated with Indian and American
foreign policies and Indo-US relations on a significant theme of India’s civil
nuclear cooperation with the USA in particular and the world in general. This
careful collection provides a philosophical, theoretical and historical
framework for understanding the sea changes in India-USA ties leading to their
possible civil nuclear cooperation, known as Civil Nuclear Deal (CND), The
volume also analyses diverse dimensions of the deal such as politico-strategic
and energy security implications, concerns about the deal raised in India and
the ISA and reconciliation of these concerns and the significance of domestic
politics and institutions of both the countries in shaping the deal. Finally,
the book ends with an examination of the problems and processes of
implementation of the CND. While not all contributors to this volume agree
about the significance of the deal for India, most of them regard it as
mutually advantageous for both the countries as well as for the world. The
policy analysis and insights offered in the volume would be useful to students,
scholars and policy-makers alike policy and its engagement with the USA.
