Summary:Gilboy and Heginbotham assess that India, simply because it is a democracy, will be no less likely than China as a rising power to pose significant challenges to US interests. While Washington has basically gotten its China policy right, a new approach to India is needed. The US is seeking to increase Indian power and enlist New Delhi as a partner in its hedging strategy against China. In the past decade, Washington has sold nearly $10 billion of advanced military systems and weapons to India, has negotiated arms and technology transfer agreements with New Delhi, and has initiated an expanding program of joint military exercises.
