| Summary, etc. |
It requires no great perspicacity to conclude that regional stability in South Asia has worsened after the Indo-Pak nuclear tests. It was expected that this event would lead to diminished tensions and instabilities and greater deterrence stability. This has not occurred. Indeed, the Kargil conflict and massive border mobilisation of troops by India and Pakistan in 2001-02, highlight their ready willingness to incur very large risks under the aegis of the imperfect nuclear deterrent. This presages crisis instability in South Asia. Nuclearisation has not induced any moderation, either, in leadership behaviour; it has, instead, accenturated their risk-taking propensities for domestic political reasons. - Reproduced. |
