Pakistan’s Security Dynamics and Nuclear Weapons

Editors: Shalini Chawla and Rajiv Nayan

Abstract

Pakistan’s nuclear thinking, doctrine, and posture are critical for Indian policymakers and the international security community. For Pakistan, nuclear arsenals are rationalised as an ultimate guarantee of security, a deterrent to Indian conventional military superiority, and an umbrella to pursue a proxy war through terrorism. The book, Pakistan’s Security Dynamics and Nuclear Weapons, co-edited by Dr. Shalini Chawla and Dr. Rajiv Nayan is an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of Pakistan’s intricate security dynamics from a large number of experts in a wide range of disciplines. The book is divided into three sections with a number of chapters in each section covering the overarching theme of the section.
