dc.description.abstract |
A decade and a half after the testing of its nuclear weapons in 1998, India is
gradually transforming its nuclear policy. This consistent shift in India’s policymaking is taking place in almost all the major areas related to its deterrent
forces. There appears to be a reappraisal in India’s credible minimum
deterrence. This paper explores areas of India’s nuclear policy which are
undergoing a gradual shift. In light of the essentials of minimum deterrence- as
part of a theoretical explanation- the argument put forth traces out whether
India’s emerging policy transformation, formulation, and their execution are in
accordance with the spirit of minimum deterrence conceived in principle. The
paper concludes that India’s nuclear policy transformation in most areas and
sub-areas is not quite consistent with the minimum deterrence criteria set here.
In so doing, these inconsistencies could have dire implications for minimum
deterrence in South Asia in general, and the non-proliferation regime in
particular. |
