Inside Nuclear South Asia
- Synopsis
-
For policy makers, legislators, analysts, intelligence and military professionals, students, and researchers, Sagan (political science, Stanford U. ) compiles six essays that consider the spread of nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan and the potential consequences of proliferation, including the possibility of war. Scholars of government, Asian studies, international relations and politics, national security affairs, and political science in the US and UK illustrate the complexity of the decision-making process and the diversity of opinions on nuclear weapons issues in these countries by providing insight on the domestic politics and organizational interests behind policies and a critique of narrow views of nuclear proliferation in general. They examine why nuclear capabilities have not led to peace and consider domestic political interests, civil-military relations, and bureaucratic processes that contribute to policy choices related to nuclear testing at various times.
