Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control in South Asia After the Test Ban

Zusatztext An exceptionally well written report that fills a gap in the literature. Klappentext This book examines an area of the world where arms control is almost non-existent--China, India, and Pakistan--and takes the unusual approach of considering the implications of conventional arms transfers, and in particular India's strategic defenses, for nuclear stability. Building on an analysis of their internal politics and attitudes to nuclear policies, it concludes that certain apparently defensive systems, particularly counter-air systems, have considerable implications for the retention of nuclear capabilities in the region. Zusammenfassung Examines an area of the world where nuclear arms control is almost non-existent - China, India and Pakistan - and takes a different approach of considering the implications of conventional arms transfers, and in particular India's strategic defences, for nuclear stability.
