Ninan Koshy traces the paradigm shift in India's foreign policy to its nuclear weapon programme started in 1998. Fully endorsing all unilateralist actions of the Bush administration meant to destabilize the international order, the NDA government entered into a strategic and military alliance with the U.S. Koshy shows how the Congress-led UPA government went much further along the new policies of its predecessor on nuclear weapons, West Asia, and alliance with the U.S. Abandoning all principles of non-alignment and independence in foreign policy, and ignoring the relevant directives of the Common Minimum Programme, the Manmohan Singh government accepted all conditions dictated by the U.S., tantalized by its promise to 'help India become a major world power in the 21st century'.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolution and development of arms control processes as an integral part of the Pakistan-India grand dialogue, which took place from 1988 to 2008. The author examines the larger political context and its impact on arms control processes. The author prioritizes four types of political conflicts, such as Jammu & Kashmir, hostile domestic politics, dissimilar military doctrines, and China as a third party. Subsequently, he determines their connection and function in restricting arms control during three major rounds of broader security dialogue (1988-1994, 1997-1999, and 2004-2008). In continuation, he discerns patterns of interaction within and across three sub-cases. This volume, which offers a systematic survey of bilateral arms control processes within the local settings and includes critical theoretical and policy insights, shall be of interest to students, scholars, policymakers, and NGOs interested in strategic/security studies and international relations theory, with a focus on the politico-strategic horizon of South Asia.
The essays in this volume address the central theme of Pakistan’s enduring, yet elusive, quest for democracy. The book charts Pakistan’s struggle from its very inception, at least in the political rhetoric provided by both civilian and military leaders, for democracy, liberalism, freedom of expression, inclusiveness of minorities and even secularism. At the same time, it demonstrates how in practice, the country has continued to drift towards increasingly brittle authoritarianism, religious extremism and intolerance of minorities — both Muslim and non-Muslim. This chasm between animated political rhetoric and grim political reality has baffled the world as much as Pakistanis themselves...
