US-Indian relations in the first period of Bush administration: from «estranged democracies» to the «global partnership»
The end of cold war marked the collapse of bipolar system of international relations, which led to the changes of structure of IR and foreign policy of United States. US-India relations went from the period of "estranged democracy" to the "global partnership" after cold war, which was built on economic, political and military cooperation. Indian nuclear test in 1998 year changed US foreign policy in the South Asia which was oriented on the struggle against proliferation of nuclear weapons. However, some years later, we could see the rapprochement of two states, which developed into the "strategic cooperation". US-India relations were built by the new republican administration of US in the frame of the great idea, that India could become the strategic partner of US. The transformation of relations included the struggle with international terrorism, the basis for which was created by common work group, and economic cooperation and cooperation in the field of nonproliferation. In general the administration of G. Bush used the approach that India is the part of solution the problem of nonproliferation, but not the part of the problem. First of all, the new administration understood that India won't reject the nuclear weapons, when different regional opponents have these weapons. Second, it explained that Indian nuclear weapons isn't the threat for the security of US. Moreover, own rejection of the CTBT and FMCT led to that realists and neoconservative made more restrained opinion on nuclear potential of India. US-India relations went throw the different periods: from the gradual rapprochement to the cooldown in the period of Cold war; from non-confidence to the desire to create strategic partnership. US were ready to go on rapprochement with India in spite of Indian nuclear program and the fact that India is not the part of NPT, the main reason for this decision was the understanding that India could become a responsible partner. Economic and political development of India, it's the role in IR and the support of US policy in the struggle with international terrorism become the basis for the US-India rapprochement after Cold war.
