Pakistan's Arms Procurement and Military Buildup, 1979-99: In Search of a Policy

By A Siddiqa-Agha, Siddiqa, Ayesha Siddiqa-Agha Dr, et al.

The strategic imperative is held as the primary explanation for Pakistan's military buildup. This book presents a fundamental departure in presenting an analysis of the internal dynamics of defence management and decisionmaking in Pakistan - a new nuclear weapon state. This is an in-depth study of Pakistan's security link with its arms suppliers and defence industrial capacity, and the influence of Pakistan's Army on conventional and non-conventional defence decisions. The analysis is backed with numerous case studies of defence decisions carried out from 1979-99.
