"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.
