Book Synopsis The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and India by : Rajiv Nayan
Download or read book The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and India written by Rajiv Nayan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty with India has been an interesting subject in the field of security studies. The nuclearisation of India and its subsequent rise are further forcing the world to redefine its relationship with the treaty. However, the international response is quite mixed. The old mindset still thinks that India may join the treaty as a Non-Nuclear Weapon State. Scholars appear divided whether India should join the treaty as a nuclear weapon country. The book discusses current crises of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which are going to figure in the 2010 Review Conference of the treaty. This book was published as a special issue of The Strategic Analysis.
Book Synopsis Indian Nuclear Policy by : Harsh V. Pant
Download or read book Indian Nuclear Policy written by Harsh V. Pant and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has come a long way from being a nuclear pariah to a de facto member of the nuclear club. The transition in its nuclear identity has been accompanied by its transformation into a major economic power and underlines a pragmatic turn in its foreign-policy thinking. This book provides a historical narrative of the evolution of India’s nuclear policy since 1947, as the country continues its pursuit for complete integration into the global nuclear order. Situating India’s nuclear behaviour in this context, the book explains how India’s engagement with the atom is unique in international nuclear history and politics. Aided by declassified archival documents and oral history interviews, it focuses on how status, security, domestic politics, and the role of individuals have played a key role in defining and shaping India’s nuclear trajectory, policy choices, and their consequences.

Book Synopsis Ploughshares and Swords by : Jayita Sarkar
Download or read book Ploughshares and Swords written by Jayita Sarkar and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's nuclear program is often misunderstood as an inward-looking endeavor of secretive technocrats. In Ploughshares and Swords, Jayita Sarkar challenges this received wisdom, narrating a global story of India's nuclear program during its first forty years. The book foregrounds the program's civilian and military features by probing its close relationship with the space program. Through nuclear and space technologies, India's leaders served the technopolitical aims of economic modernity and the geopolitical goals of deterring adversaries. The politically savvy, transnationally connected scientists and engineers who steered the program obtained technologies, materials, and information through a variety of state and nonstate actors from Europe and North America, including both superpowers. They thus maneuvered around Cold War politics and the choke points of the nonproliferation regime. Hyperdiversification increased choices for the leaders of the nuclear program but reduced democratic accountability at home. The nuclear program became a consensus-enforcing device in the name of the nation. Ploughshares and Swords is a provocative new history with global implications. It shows how geopolitical and technopolitical visions influence decisions about the nation after decolonization. Thanks to generous funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Book Synopsis India-Pakistan Nuclear Diplomacy by : Mario E. Carranza
Download or read book India-Pakistan Nuclear Diplomacy written by Mario E. Carranza and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a constructivist model, this study brings nuclear arms control and disarmament back into the debates on the future of Indo-Pakistani relations. Constructivism recognizes the independent impact of international norms, such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Norm (NNPN), on India and Pakistan’s nuclear behavior. Even though the NNPN does not legally bind them, it is reinforced at the global level, and may lead the South Asian rivals to move in the direction of nuclear arms control and disarmament, thus reducing the costs, dangers, and risks of an eternal strategic rivalry. After examining the main tenets of constructivism in international relations, the works delves into the proliferation debate, discussing nuclear reversal and U.S. policy toward the subcontinent since the G. W. Bush administration. It looks at the prospects for nuclear arms control and disarmament in South Asia after the U.S.-India nuclear deal of 2008, and the nuclear abolitionist wave during the first Obama administration. It concludes with the contribution of social constructivism to understanding how changes in the India-Pakistan nuclear status quo can happen.
Book Synopsis India's Nuclear Policy by : Bharat Karnad
Download or read book India's Nuclear Policy written by Bharat Karnad and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Indian nuclear policy, doctrine, strategy and posture, clarifying the elastic concept of credible minimum deterrence at the center of the country's approach to nuclear security. This concept, Karnad demonstrates, permits the Indian nuclear forces to be beefed up, size and quality-wise, and to acquire strategic reach and clout, even as the qualifier minimum suggests an overarching concern for moderation and economical use of resources, and strengthens India's claims to be a responsible nuclear weapon state. Based on interviews with Indian political leaders, nuclear scientists, and military and civilian nuclear policy planners, it provides unique insights into the workings of India's nuclear decision-making and deterrence system. Moreover, by juxtaposing the Indian nuclear policy and thinking against the theories of nuclear war and strategic deterrence, nuclear escalation, and nuclear coercion, offers a strong theoretical grounding for the Indian approach to nuclear war and peace, nuclear deterrence and escalation, nonproliferation and disarmament, and to limited war in a nuclearized environment. It refutes the alarmist notions about a nuclear flashpoint in South Asia, etc. which derive from stereotyped analysis of India-Pakistan wars, and examines India's likely conflict scenarios involving China and, minorly, Pakistan.
Book Synopsis Nuclear Weapons? by : Bhabani Sen Gupta
Download or read book Nuclear Weapons? written by Bhabani Sen Gupta and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1983 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to consider and spell out nuclear policy options for India. As a major contribution to the literature on nuclear proliferation, this pioneering and thought provoking work outlines the policy dilemmas and options with regard to nuclear weapons available to a country like India. Professor Sen Gupta outlines the options open to India as well as the external pressures on India to go nuclear -- the result is essential reading for anyone interested in the study of nuclear weapons, and policy makers in general. '...his incisive analysis of this subject of great misunderstanding is in itself an achievement of the first order. Anyone willing to examine the subject in depth will undoubtedly find this book invaluable.' -- Amrita Bazar Patrika, April 1984 'The book is factual, lucid and comprehensive...It is a book that outlines clearly the nuclear weapons policy options for India, which from the outset were its claims.' -- Teaching Politics, Vol 8 No3/4 '...coming as it does almost exactly a decade after India's first, and until now only nuclear explosion (1974), the volume constitutes a timely contribution to contemporary thinking on India's nuclear weapons policy...what this volume does bring out is the complexity and diversity of contemporary Indian thinking on the nuclear problem as it relates to the South Asian region.' -- Arms Control May 1984
Book Synopsis The Evolution of India's Nuclear Program by : David J. Creasman
Download or read book The Evolution of India's Nuclear Program written by David J. Creasman and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-05 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since India began developing its nuclear program it has continually encountered issues with the United States and other nuclearized countries over whether India should be able to establish a nuclear program, and subsequently a nuclear weapons program. Over the past 60 years, the Indio-U.S. relationship has swung from supporting India's nuclear ambitions to employing sanctions over nuclear weapon testing. Since the attacks of September 11, the U.S. has paid closer attention to the South Asian region, balancing their policies between the needed Pakistani support for the Global War on Terror (GWOT) with the desire to maintain India as an economic partner and leverage against Chinese regional influence. This monograph, “The Evolution of India's Nuclear Program: Implications for the United States,” examines the evolution of India's nuclear program as it developed from the 1940s through the 1990s and the current nuclear capabilities that they now possess. In addition, discussing the various U.S. reactions and policies during the time period as they relate to India is important to understand the relationship that currently exists between the two countries. As it approaches its seventh decade, the Indian nuclear program continues to develop improved weapons technologies with the potential to proliferate nuclear material to other countries, how should the U.S. address the various issues that have promulgated over the past 60 years as they relate to the future? In developing this strategy, the U.S. government should examine the past administrations policies towards India since 1947 in order to develop a comprehensive strategy that utilizes all the instruments of national power that will encourage India to become a responsible stakeholder among the nuclearized countries and demonstrate the responsibility that goes along with nuclear technology. In delving into these past policies, the government will be more able to develop an understanding of the Indian psyche as it relates to the way the U.S. has traditionally dealt with its country. As India continues to develop into a regional power, interaction with the U.S. becomes increasingly important, and the U.S. reactions to Indian endeavors in the nuclear field will permeate throughout the discussions between the two countries.
Book Synopsis India, Pakistan, and the Bomb by : Sumit Ganguly
Download or read book India, Pakistan, and the Bomb written by Sumit Ganguly and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In May 1998, India and Pakistan put to rest years of speculation about whether they possessed nuclear technology and openly tested their weapons. Some believed nuclearization would stabilize South Asia; others prophesized disaster. Authors of two of the most comprehensive books on South Asia's new nuclear era, Sumit Ganguly and S. Paul Kapur, offer competing theories on the transformation of the region and what these patterns mean for the world's next proliferators." "With these two major interpretations, Ganguly and Kapur tackle all sides of an urgent issue that has profound regional and global consequences. Sure to spark discussion and debate, India, Pakistan, and the Bomb thoroughly maps the potential impact of nuclear proliferation."--Cubierta.

Book excerpt: Nuclear tests in India and Pakistan brought the threat of nuclear war back to the world's centre stage.

This text examines the causes and consequences of India and Pakistani nuclear tests. The book provides a framework for understanding the global context of these tests, and looks at approaches for nuclear abolition in Asia and the West.

Book Synopsis India's Nuclear Bomb and National Security by : Karsten Frey
Download or read book India's Nuclear Bomb and National Security written by Karsten Frey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s Nuclear Bomb and National Security gives an analytic account of the dynamics of India's nuclear build up. It puts forward a new comprehensive model, which goes beyond the classic strategic model of accepting motives of arming behaviour, and incorporates the dynamics in India’s nuclear programme. The core argument of the book surrounds the question about India's security considerations and their impact on India's nuclear policy development. Karsten Frey explores this analytic model by including explanatory variables on the unit-level, where interests are generally related to symbolic, less strategic values attributed to nuclear weapons. These play a significant role within India's domestic political party competition and among certain pressure groups. They also impacted India's relationship with other countries on non-proliferation matters, for example the concept of the country's 'status' and 'prestige'. Identifying the role of the strategic elite in determining India's nuclear course, this book also argues that one of the pivotal driving forces behind India's quest for the nuclear bomb is India's struggle for international recognition and the strong, often obsessive sensitivities of India's elite regarding 'acts of discrimination' or 'ignorance' by the West towards India.
