Source<\/strong>: The post is based on an article\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>A check over of the U.S.\u2019s much anticipated NSS\u201d <\/strong>published in\u00a0The Hindu<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a031st<\/sup> October 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Syllabus: GS 2 \u2013 <\/strong>International relations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relevance: <\/strong>National Security Strategy of the USS and its relevance for India<\/strong><\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The United States has launched its National Security Strategy (NSS)<\/strong>. It is a comprehensive document that provide the estimates of investment in the defense of the country and in achieving the nation\u2019s security goals.<\/p>\n

What are the goals of NSS?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The NSS of the Biden administration focuses on multiple goals to be achieved in the current decade (2021-30).<\/p>\n

It seeks to 1)<\/strong> Sustain U.S. leadership, 2)<\/strong> Improve the U.S. economy, 3)<\/strong> Building partnerships and alliances, 4)<\/strong> Counter China as its strategic competitor and Russia as a disruptor, and 5)<\/strong> Boost U.S. competitiveness and defend democracy.<\/p>\n

It also focuses on the issues of climate change, food insecurity, pandemics, terrorism, energy shortages and inflation along with food security and inflation.<\/p>\n

It serves three purposes \u2013 a)<\/strong> fulfils the aims and vision of the National Security Strategic Guidance, b)<\/strong> provides clarity and direction to various policies, c)<\/strong> fulfils the political expectation in the US.<\/p>\n

An important part of the NSS is to inform the U.S. Department of Defense\u2019s strategy, especially in the two areas \u2013 nuclear posture and missile defense<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the agendas put under NSS?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

It lays down three main agendas of the U.S. strategy of moving forward: a)<\/strong> invest; b) <\/strong>build and c<\/strong>) modernize.<\/p>\n

Invest:<\/strong> It seeks to invest in the tools of American power <\/strong>and increase its influence by strengthening the economy, improving critical infrastructure and investing in technologies such as microchips and semiconductors.<\/p>\n

Build:<\/strong> It seeks to build the strongest possible coalition of nations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Modernize:<\/strong> it aims at modernizing that would fulfil the US\u2019 internal and external security demands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These three agendas will help US to compete with China as NSS names China as the only competitor<\/strong> that could shape the international order in a fundamental way.<\/p>\n

How does NSS provide strategy to compete with China and fill the gap of Russia?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The NSS provides a long-term and immediate plan to counter China. It seeks to build a joint-strategy<\/strong> to compete China while putting limitation <\/strong>on Russia.<\/p>\n

It considers China\u2019s increasing dominance in the Indo-Pacific region<\/strong> in areas of economy, technology, development, security, etc, a threat.<\/p>\n

Further, it also focuses on building alliances and global partnership<\/strong> to oppose change in the status quo of Taiwan by China.<\/p>\n

It identifies Russia\u2019s downgraded economy, military, and its degraded global influence. To fill the gap of Russia, the NSS acknowledges India and Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This acknowledgement may be a hint for the inclusion of India in G7. However, one has to be aware that any such inclusion will serve the interest of the US only rather than its Indo-Pacific partners.<\/p>\n

How NSS recognizes India as the strategic partner of the US?<\/strong><\/p>\n

NSS identifies India as a both bilateral and multilateral partner<\/strong> in the Indo-Pacific <\/strong>and highlight the importance of India as the largest democracy and a major defence partner.<\/p>\n

It provides India with the opportunity of partnership with the US in the<\/strong> defence sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has also recognized India as an important partner in the Indo-Pacific through regional partnerships such as the Quad <\/strong>(India, Australia, Japan the U.S.) and the I2U2<\/strong> (India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the U.S).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
