Controlling non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction: problems and prospects in a changing world
Article Abstract:
Effective diplomacy from the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) signatories is imperative for a proper implementation of the convention. The developed nations must assuage the fears and suspicions of those developing nations which seek to expand and safeguard their technologies for pure economic considerations. The developed nations should also acknowledge their role in the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons during the Cold War period. Thus, a democratic, non-aligned, technically advanced nation, such as India, can assume a significant role in the proper implementation of CWC.

Technology as a substitute for political action: a counter view of U.S. policy and strategy and their impacts
Article Abstract:
The West is imposing restrictions on acquisition of defense technology by India mainly because it wants to avoid the threat posed by Indian defense technology to Western defense market. India is denied access to technology though it has not misused its defense power while many other violators of international arms control treaties have access to high technology. The US should support third world democracies such as India and not totalitarian regimes to create a world devoid of tensions.

A proposal for a South Asian Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty
Article Abstract:
The 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty should serve as a guide for a missile-ban treaty involving Pakistan and India. Both countries are producing missiles which could jeopardize the highly-populated region. Limitations to missiles are easier to establish than compliance to agreements involving reduction or elimination of weapons of mass destruction. Such an agreement should be viewed by the two countries as a step towards improving their national security.
