This edited volume explores competing perspectives on the impact of
nuclear weapons proliferation on the South Asian security
environment. The spread of nuclear weapons is one of the world's
foremost security concerns. The effect of nuclear weapons on the
behaviour of newly nuclear states, and the potential for future
international crises, are of particular concern. As a region of
burgeoning economic and political importance, South Asia offers a
crucial test of proliferation's effects on the crisis behaviour of
newly nuclear states. This volume creates a dialogue between
scholars who believe that nuclear weapons have stabilized the
subcontinent, and those who believe that nuclear weapons have made
South Asia more conflict prone. It does so by pairing competing
analyses of four major regional crises: the 1987 "Brasstacks"
crisis, the Indo-Pakistani crisis of 1990, the 1999 Kargil war,
which occurred after the nuclear tests; and the 2001-2
Indo-Pakistani militarized standoff. In addition, the volume
explores the implications of the South Asian nuclear experience for
potential new nuclear states such as North Korea and Iran.
