SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
On July 18, 2005, US President George W. Bush reversed three decades of non-proliferation policies and offered to allow Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) holdout India to buy nuclear reactors, uranium and dual use technologies on the international market. In return, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh undertook to separate India's civilian nuclear facilities from its military ones and to place the civilian ones under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. The US-India nuclear deal was heralded as the centerpiece of a transformed US-India relationship and the key initiative that would pave the way for a long-term strategic partnership with profound implications for the Asian and global balance of power.
