India and Nuclear Asia
This book offers a compact yet comprehensive overview of India’s nuclear forces and doctrine. It provides enough empirical detail and insightful discussion to be of interest to the specialist (or semi-specialist) reader while also serving as a fairly accessible introduction for nonspecialists. Yogesh Joshi and Frank O’Donnell’s monograph may work best for scholars and policymakers who have scrutinized India’s nuclear policies only episodically. T…
State homophobia? India’s shifting UN positions on LGBTQ issues
Why has India adopted contradictory policies with regard to LGBTQ rights at the UN? From 2004 to 2010, India consistently supported draft language for a UN resolution to allow a Special Rapporteur to investigate extra-judicial executions that would include the term ‘sexual orientation’. More recently, however, India has opposed or abstained from UN votes on LGBTQ rights. While India's conservative posture on LGBTQ issues was catalyzed by the Supr…
What makes a successful Indian American political candidate
Indian American candidates have been increasingly visible in recent elections in the U.S., even as Indian Americans and other South Asian Americans remain an under-represented population across American government. In this research note, we report results of an experiment to test how voters react to several characteristics of hypothetical Indian American candidates: religion, use of ‘given’ Indian names or ‘Americanized’ nicknames, gender, and pa…
Keeping an eye on South Asian skies
Since declaring their nuclear weapons capabilities in 1998, India and Pakistan have engaged in three major crises that each threatened to escalate into war. In each crisis, the USA engaged in active diplomacy to dissuade the South Asian rivals from taking escalatory actions. Previous literature on the crises has described the American role, but has not theorized third-party involvement in a nuclearized regional rivalry. We apply Timothy Crawford’…
From Swagger to Self-Advocacy
The International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's facility for low-income countries, has granted India an unprecedented exception to its usual “graduation” policy—extending transitional support to its largest borrower, even though it has crossed the normal eligibility cutoff for IDA’s soft loans (based on per capita income). Before 2012, some Indian officials had called for a “graceful graduation,” believing that India did not nee…
India's Season of Discontent
Indian elites spent much of Barack Obama's first year trying to discern whether he would continue the “strategic partnership” cultivated between New Delhi and Washington over the previous decade. In the absence of early affirmation and concerned that the United States was developing a pro-Pakistan outlook on regional security issues (particularly Kashmir), India focused intensely on the new president's evolving “Af-Pak” policy as a proxy for the …
