Nuclear proliferation, a security issue which has transcended the
cold war, has been, and is, particularly troublesome in South Asia.
There, India and Pakistan, neighbors with unresolved disputes since
they were granted independence at the end of World War II, are
believed to have nuclear weapons (although the leaders of both
nations deny it) and are intermittently engaged in conflict with
each other. Professor Quester has examined this unique nuclear
relationship, analyzing the attitudes and behavior of both nations.
He concludes with a paradox: both have "bombs in the basement," if
not in their respective military inventories, and these weapons
present serious dangers to the world simply because of their
destructive potential, even if their leaders have the best
intentions. On the other hand, Indian and Pakistani leaders appear
to have low levels of concern about each others' nuclear (not
conventional military) developments. It is possible to be
optimistic and conclude that the relationship is actually stable
and, like the U.S.-Soviet nuclear relationship of the cold war,
helps prevent war on the subcontinent, or to be cynical and
conclude that each regime cares more about the prestige of
membership in the nuclear club than the ominous threat posed
thereby against their populations.
