Unconventional partners in nuclear sphere: India, Australia

Amandeep Gill, visiting fellow at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation and Rory Medcalf, director of International Security at the Lowy Institute argue that an innovative partnership between Australia and India would help erode the entrenched blocs that impede progress on nuclear disarmament. In a policy brief, "Unconventional partners: Australia-India cooperation in reducing nuclear dangers", they recommend a specialised bilateral dialogue, practical cooperation on non-proliferation export controls, promotion of Indian involvement in the so-called Australia Group to raise comfort levels between New Delhi and other such arrangements.
