Description
This book discusses the acquisition of nuclear weapons by India and Pakistan and its effect on security of the South Asian region. The author contends that nuclear weapons have significantly destabilized the Indian subcontinent. According to him, South Asia has become more volatile after acquiring nuclear weapons. Proliferation has increased aggression by Pakistanbecause it is relatively weaker than India and is dissatisfied with the territorial status quo in Kashmir. This has, in turn, triggered forceful Indian responses which have further added to the instability in the region. The author uses quantitative analysis to establish the relationship between nuclearization and conventional stability in the region between 1971 and 2002. He shows a positive correlation between nuclear proliferation and conventional instability during these three decades. Thus this study affirms that nuclear weapons have failed to prevent conflict in South Asia. In fact, they have escalated tensions.
