Deepening the U.S.-India partnership requires President Obama to address institutional deficiencies in Washington, cooperate with New Delhi on Afghanistan and Iran, build up India’s defense capabilities, and encourage Indian economic reform.

China's rising military power has, paradoxically, been enabled by the very American global order that Beijing is now poised to challenge.

The Cold War policy of nonalignment might look attractive on paper, but in an increasingly uncertain world, India cannot afford to eschew ties with like-minded foreign powers.

Instead of avoiding coalitions, New Delhi should enter into preferential strategic partnerships taking the form of high-quality trading ties, robust defense cooperation, and strong diplomatic collaboration.

Irrespective of how Afghanistan's coming security transition pans out, one country may be on a surprising course to a major strategic defeat: Pakistan.

For a range of reasons, Lashkar-e-Taiba is the most dangerous terrorist group operating in South Asia after al-Qaeda.

Even as the civilian representative government of Pakistan attempts to assert its autonomy against a new alliance of the military and the judiciary, the Pakistani military continues to dictate foreign policy abroad.

The Indian Ocean is an increasingly vital geopolitical space for U.S. interests, and American policymakers take it into account when formulating a U.S. grand strategy.

The Obama administration is supporting political reconciliation between the Taliban and coalition forces in Afghanistan in order to safeguard the upcoming security transition, but numerous challenges still loom.
