Perception, Politics and Security in South Asia: The Compound Crisis of 1990

By Jerrold E. Schneider, P R Chari, Stephen P Cohen, et al.

Book Overview

This book provides a detailed examination of the compound crisis between India and Pakistan that brought the region to the brink of a nuclear war in 1990. Placing the crisis in the context of concurrent international events such as the fall of the Soviet Union, the authors draw out the lesson for present-day South Asian affairs. The book also makes a significant contribution to the debates on the role of nuclear weapons, confidence and security building strategies and the place of ethnicity in contemporary international relations.
