Title

Us and India: Emerging offshore balancing in Asia

Creator

Paul J.

Description

The US and India have become closer in recent times. Compared with the last century, the relationship between the two countries is in steady growth. Under both the Bush and Obama administrations, and now the Trump administration too, India is receiving significant importance in US strategic policy toward the IndoPacific. Indias emergence as a credible power in the Indian Ocean region has brought both countries much closer. The relationship has also steadily progressed as result of Chinas emergence as a potential hegemon in Asia. The US faces difficulty in maintaining its preponderant position across the IndoPacific and requires strong allies in the region to help share the burden. In this regard, India could be the offshore balancer in Asia to counter Chinas emergence as a potential hegemon in the region. 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
