Summary/Abstract |
The past year saw a dramatic surge of economic growth in India. Despite this rapid spurt of growth, significant political problems continue to hobble the country partially because the coalition government in New Delhi seems unable to make hard policy decisions. Consequently, it remains unclear if India can surmount many of the obstacles that still stand in the way of sustained economic growth and even increased international political stature

Summary/Abstract |
The transformation of U.S.-India relations has been, arguably, one of the most significant developments in American foreign policy in the past decade. Both countries' leaderships regard a recent nuclear cooperation agreement as the most important step yet in their emerging "strategic partnership." But the deal is also deeply controversial-critics see it as a major departure from decades-standing nonproliferation norms-and its approval by the U.S. Congress in 2006 was far from assured. This paper argues that an increasingly professional and well-funded "India lobby" among Indian-Americans was critical in pressing members of Congress to support the nuclear agreement. Moreover, this episode may portend its emergence as one of the most important ethnic communities seeking influence over U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century-if it can sustain momentum for its ambitious long-term goals, such as securing a permanent seat for India on the UN Security Council, through the uncertain near-term future of the nuclear agreement itself.

Summary/Abstract |
Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month signed a framework agreement outlining future cooperation on the agency's investigations into Tehran's past activities that are suspected of having been part of an effort to develop nuclear weapons. The agreement included six initial actions for Iran to take by mid-February 2014 that will provide the IAEA with access to two nuclear sites and information on Iran's planned nuclear power plants and research reactors. IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano and Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, signed the agreement in Tehran on Nov. 11. In a statement following the signing, Amano said that "subsequent steps" under the framework would address issues that the six actions do not cover.

Summary/Abstract |
Iran and six world powers last month achieved an apparent breakthrough in negotiations over Tehran's controversial nuclear program when the parties reached a first-phase agreement on a six-month deal that will halt Iran's most sensitive nuclear activities and increase international monitoring of its nuclear program in exchange for some relief from sanctions that have hurt Iran's economy.

Summary/Abstract |
The objective of this study is to understand the shift in the nuclear policy of the Islamic Republic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). As a military organization considered to be the steward of the nuclear programme, the Revolutionary Guards turned into spoilers on the few occasions when the pragmatists in Iran tried to negotiate a deal with the international community. In a surprising shift, the Guards’ nuclear policy changed and supported nuclear negotiations and the nuclear agreement. It is assumed that the IRGC is more interested in its economic ventures than in promoting the nuclear project. To test the hypothesis, the present study is designed to provide a rigorous empirical examination of the economic impact of the sanctions on the Revolutionary Guards.

Summary/Abstract |
Befitting two raucous democracies, once estranged but increasingly fraternal, the U.S.-India relationship routinely evokes grandiloquence about "natural allies," "an affair of the heart," "kindred spirits," "common DNA" and a defining partnership" shaping the destiny of the 21st century. Such sentiments were on full display in late 2009 when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh visited the White House as President Baraek Obama's first official state guest. In the run-up to the event, Obama declared that Mahatma Gandhi "was a real hero of mine" and let it be known that he considered Singh and India part of his family. The extravagant state dinner staged on the South Lawn was the hottest ticket in town, attracting party crashers to boot, and even the rainy weather did not dim an event the Washington Post likened to a Hollywood production. And with expectations raised by the recently-codified U.S.-India nuclear cooperation agreement, the two leaders spoke augustly about a "future that beckons all of us."'
