| Summary/Abstract |
The dawn of the new millennium has witnessed a renewed focus on power and security in the context of American primacy in global affairs. Today the United States of America (US) enjoys a position of power that was hitherto unknown by any one country. As the pre-eminence of US power animates the international landscape, several aspects of the resultant power asymmetries have prompted a fresh round of strategic thinking. It has sharpened the focus on the roots and evolution of the American worldview that shapes and guides the country's international policies. An appraisal of the worldview of the US today has significant implications for India, since Indo-US ties are in the process of deepening. The main questions that this article seeks to address are (i) what drives America's policies towards India, and (ii) how the changed worldview of America's security and power impacts Indo-US relations.
