He who rides a tiger: the rationale of India's nuclear tests

Article Abstract:

The need to develop and introduce nuclear weapons for counteracting foreign aggression is one of the strongest factors which prompted India to undertake successive nuclear tests in May 1998. Such a decision by the Indian government reflects the country's long-waged war against Pakistan. The move may also be seen as an attempt by the Bharatya Janata Party (NJP) to dominate India's political landscape. Experts believe India would continue to enhance its nuclear weaponry in order to support its military strategies for the future.

Danger and opportunity: the United States, nonproliferation, and South Asia

Article Abstract:

International security and global order may only be achieved through the collaborative efforts of world powers, including Russia, US, Germany and China. Stringent penalties must be imposed on countries who contribute to the proliferation of nuclear weapons, missile systems and other weapons of mass destruction. The US government must also underscore the need to maintain a balance of power among nations, even if it leads to the deterioration of certain economic ties with other countries.

The future of ballistic missile defense and its derivatives

Article Abstract:

Several analysts believe that the US should propose to provide theater missile defense (TMD) coverage to India in exchange for the latter's termination of its own TMD and ballistic missile development programs. From India's perspective, the US must structure the TMD coverage proposal according to its conditions. Primarily, India would want the US to change its policy regarding Pakistan preventing it from continuing its terrorist and insurgent activities in Kashmir.
