U.S.-India civilian nuclear cooperation (2005-2007) : a case study on the shift in U.S. nonproliferation policy toward India.

Abstract

The international community had started to ask the consistency of US nonproliferation policy when it suddenly offered nuclear transfers to India under the framework of civilian nuclear cooperation. The US has been the leading actor in nonproliferation. It has participated in the formulation of multilateral nonproliferation regimes and has taken necessary steps to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons in the world.
