| This thesis explores whether or not the Indian-American lobby has been responsible for significantly influencing the evolution of the U.S.-Indo bilateral relationship since 1990. In this thesis, I argue that its influence has been marginal - a result of endemic constraints within the broader Indian-American diaspora and poor organizational culture within USINPAC - the diasporas main lobbying arm since 2003. Rather, the traditional levels of analysis approach can help explain the alliance's evolution since the end of the Cold War. |
