South Asia's Cold War: Nuclear Weapons and Conflict in Comparative Perspective


Add your own review!

Overview

This book is an important reappraisal of the continuing conflict in South Asia, drawing an unprecedented parallel between the proliferation of nuclear arms in Pakistan and India and the spiralling tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Rajesh Basrur begins by re-examining the term 'Cold War', focussing his enquiry on the problems of nation building and the tensions of a nuclear strategic relationship between nations. He investigates the plausibility of inflating 'Cold War' to a generic term by reviewing both the similarities and differences between the current conflict in South Asia and that which divided and defined political ideologies in the post war world. This book then assesses the role of political theoreticians and their role in helping to illuminate problems and draws key lessons from past conflicts. Basrur outlines his theory for a resolution to the conflict and the closely related instigation of healthy competition between India and Pakistan. This is a fresh and unique perspective, indispensable for anybody with a particular interest in South Asia and world stability and in the wider fields of security studies and international relations.
