The author probes the broader questions of the extent to which Pakistan’s conduct was factored into the global non-proliferation regime and why that regime failed to constrain Pakistan’s choice to go nuclear.\u003cbr\u003e The book goes on to argue that in order to fully understand Pakistan’s nuclear policy, the Indian case must also be considered. Therefore, this book provides a comprehensive scholarly account of the history of both India’s and Pakistan’s technological developments leading to their decision to develop nuclear weapons and confront the NPT constraints. The question of nuclear proliferation by Pakistan’s most prominent scientist, Dr A. Q. Khan, its nuclear behaviour after the disclosure of this proliferation case, and the recent development of counter-proliferation measures at a global level are all analysed in this volume. The security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons and the question of the state’s reliability within the ranks of the global community remain hotly debated issues. \u003ci\u003ePakistan and the New Nuclear Taboo\u003c\/i\u003e offers the compelling argument that a new nuclear taboo against proliferation has emerged to prevent nuclear risks regionally and globally: since 2004, it is argued, Pakistan has played a key role in helping to establish this new nuclear taboo against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The ‘three models’ approach adopted here provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date theoretical perspective on Pakistan’s nuclear behaviour and helps illuminate nuclear policy dynamics and the role of international institutions in regulating the conduct of states in other regions as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Regime Theory: A Three-Models Approach to International Relations – Identifying Pakistan’s Nuclear Behaviour (1950s-1986) – Pakistan’s Nuclear Behaviour in Crisis Situations: From Non-Weaponized Deterrence to Weaponized Deterrence (1986-1999) – Pakistan’s Transition from Vertical to Horizontal Proliferation – Pakistan’s Behaviour after the Khan Revelations (2004-2009) – Pakistan as Part of the Non-proliferation Challenges – Presenting Solutions – Conclusion: Pakistan, Regime Theory, and the Non-proliferation Regime.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043609280855,"sku":"9783034302722","price":49.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034302722.jpg?v=1750958861","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/pakistan-and-the-new-nuclear-taboo-regional-deterrence-and-the-international-arms-control-regime-9783034302722","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
