{"product_id":"to-chagai-and-beyond-nuclear-developments-in-pakistan","title":"To Chagai and Beyond: Nuclear Developments in Pakistan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA well researched historical account of Pakistan's nuclear programme from its inception in 1958 to till date, with India's responses examined in tandem, thereby making a readable exposition of the dynamics of the South Asian nuclear being. But the author's ability, to discern the driving factors flowing out of the global nuclear dynamic and placing these connections in the correct perspective, is of exceptional value. This book looks at Pakistan beyond the intricacies of development and production of strategic capabilities and places it in the wider context of the global nuclear matrix, whereby Islamabad navigated its nuclear strategy through non-proliferation by cleverly exploiting the imperatives of the two nuclear weapon states (NWS) - US and China. Essentially a strategy of 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' - one in which the unholy nexus of political and technological collusion by one or the other NWS resulted in an increasing threat to India's security environment. The author covers the entire gimmickry-domestic and international-that came into play as the nuclear weapons, programme evolved, thereby laying out a comprehensive matrix of the global non-proliferation regime and its after thought in the form of technology restrictive regimes and an insight of how Islamabad traversed this environment and drew maximum mileage from the peccadilloes of the US and Chinese foreign policies. This book is highly recommended for those researching the political environment and policies through which the Pakistani nuclear capabilities were developed in a hostile era of non-proliferation.
