Book Review:
''Nuclear Non-Proliferation in India and Pakistan: South Asian Perspectives'' is a critical and timely scholarly collection that delves into one of the world's most volatile nuclear flashpoints. Edited by three eminent scholars—P.R. Chari, Pervaiz Iqbal Cheema, and Iftekharuzzaman—this volume provides a multi-faceted analysis of the nuclear dynamics between India and Pakistan post their 1998 tests. It moves beyond Western-centric non-proliferation discourse to offer authentic regional viewpoints on the drivers of nuclearization, the challenges of crisis stability, and the complex relationship with global regimes like the NPT. The book examines confidence-building measures, the role of major powers, and prospects for nuclear risk reduction in South Asia. It is an indispensable resource for policymakers, defense analysts, and students of international relations, security studies, and South Asian affairs seeking a deep understanding of the nuclear dilemma in the subcontinent.
