India's nuclear profile, doctrine, and practices have evolved
rapidly since the country's nuclear breakout in 1998. However, the
outside world's understanding of India's doctrinal debates,
forward-looking strategy, and technical developments are still two
decades behind the present. India and Nuclear Asia will fill that
gap in our knowledge by focusing on the post-1998 evolution of
Indian nuclear thought, its arsenal, the triangular rivalry with
Pakistan and China, and New Delhi's nonproliferation policy
approaches. Yogesh Joshi and Frank O'Donnell show how India's
nuclear trajectory has evolved in response to domestic, regional,
and global drivers. The authors argue that emerging trends in all
three states are elevating risks of regional inadvertent and
accidental escalation. These include the forthcoming launch of
naval nuclear forces within an environment of contested maritime
boundaries; the growing employment of dual-use delivery vehicles;
and the emerging preferences of all three states to employ missiles
early in a conflict. These dangers are amplified by the
near-absence of substantive nuclear dialogue between these states,
and the growing ambiguity of regional strategic intentions. Based
on primary-source research and interviews, this book will be
important reading for scholars and students of nuclear deterrence
and India's international relations, as well as for military,
defense contractor, and policy audiences both within and outside
South Asia.
