When India conducted five nuclear tests in May 1998, it became clear that the U.S. could no longer continue its policy of "benign neglect" toward India. An important and timely book, Engaging India addresses the broad range of nonproliferation and foreign policy issues that affect Indo-American relations. By discussing missile control and space cooperation, chemical and biological weapons, and the use of sanctions versus incentives, the contributors provide practical recommendations for how a stronger and more meaningful dialogue can be established between the policymakers of the world's two largest democracies.
