Description:
Analysts of international politics have engaged in heated debate over the likely consequences of the spread of nuclear weapons. Most have argued that nuclear proliferation will destabilize the world and increase the risk of nuclear war. Others counter that nuclear war is so destructive that new nuclear nations will adopt prudent security policies.
Expand description
In this book, Devin Hagerty examines the relationship between two emerging nuclear powers -- India and Pakistan -- to assess how nuclear weapons have changed their foreign and military policies. India and Pakistan have fought three wars since becoming independent in 1948 and their relations remain tense.
Hagerty presents detailed studies of the January 1987 Indo-Pakistani crisis and the 1990 confrontation over Kashmir. He concludes that relations between India and Pakistan in recent years support the argument that nuclear proliferation is not necessarily destabilizing and may even reduce the risk of war.
