Book Summary of India`s Nuclear Bomb and National Security
"India`s Nuclear Bomb and National Security" gives an analytic account of the dynamics of India`s nuclear build up. It puts forward a new comprehensive model, which goes beyond the classic strategic model of accepting motives of arming behaviour, and incorporates the dynamics in India`s nuclear programme. The core argument of the book surrounds the question about India`s security considerations and their impact on India`s nuclear policy development.
Karsten Frey explores this analytic model by including explanatory variables on the unit-level, where interests are generally related to symbolic, less strategic values attributed to nuclear weapons. These play a significant role within India`s domestic political party competition and among certain pressure groups. They also impacted India`s relationship with other countries on non-proliferation matters, for example the concept of the country`s `status` and `prestige`.
Identifying the role of the strategic elite in determining India`s nuclear course, this book also argues that one of the pivotal driving forces behind India`s quest for the nuclear bomb is India`s struggle for international recognition and the strong, often obsessive sensitivities of India`s elite regarding `acts of discrimination` or `ignorance` by the West towards India. isbn
