India-Australia Strategic Convergences: Potential and Challenges
Strategic relations between India and Australia would be conditioned on how New Delhi and Canberra would view each powers role in the Asia-Pacific security architecture; While the rise of China and the retreat of the US would forge greater cooperation between India and Australiathey would not be enduring factors; since both powers have their respective paths of strategic autonomy; Australias sensitivities towards Indias nuclear programme and the reluctance of sale of Uranium to India while a similar sale to China contradicts Australias position on nuclear proliferation; Attacks on Indians have exacerbated tensions between the two countries; Indias demographic quotient offers to Australia a higher skill advantage
Assessment
India and Australia have a substantial agenda to deepen strategic engagement on the basis of economic interdependence and strategic vision of a peaceful democratic Asia; The India-Australia fulcrum of strategic cooperation would be in the Southeast Asia-Indian Ocean Region that would bring greater maritime cooperation to tackle transnational threats; Greater economic interdependence based on globalization that is deferential to human development would be a critical factor for both India and Australia even as they contend several transnational threats; India-Australia naval and maritime cooperation would be a vital and stabilizing factor in the strategic partnership having vital effects on the emergent Asian security architecture; India and Australia need to rework on the issue of Indians in Australia who have been subject to repeated criminal attacks.
