Pakistan's Nuclear Policy (eBook, PDF)

A Minimum Credible Deterrence

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In May 1998, in reaction to India's nuclear weapon tests, Pakistan tested six nuclear weapons. Following this, the country opted for a policy of minimum deterrence, and within a year, Pakistan had altered its policy stance by adding the modifier of minimum 'credible' deterrence. This book looks at how this shift impacted on Pakistan's nuclear policy direction, how and if Pakistan has become one of the fastest growing nuclear weapon states in the world, and whether the concept of 'minimum' has lost its significance. It highlights the policy towards arms control and disarmament, and discusses whether these individual policy orientations are consistent with the minimum deterrence.
