Abstract:
|
Nearly five years after coming out the nuclear closet
and
openly declaring itself as a nuclear weapons state, India finalized its
nuclear command structure and formalized its nuclear doctrine last
year.
The broad framework of India’s nuclear doctrine was drafted by the
National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) that was established by the
government of India after the nuclear tests of May 1998. This draft
nuclear doctrine of the NSAB had been in the public domain since August
1999. However, till January 2003, India’s nuclear weapons doctrine
remained just that, a draft. This ambivalence was removed by an
official
announcement from the Indian government on January 2003 that not only
adopted the essence of that draft as official policy but also announced
a
formal nuclear command structure under civilian control.
This is a significant development as India’s nuclear doctrine is a
product
of much debate and discussion within the country and abroad and holds
important lessons for the established nuclear weapon states as well as
the
emerging nuclear states.
This paper will examine the Indian nuclear doctrine in the context of
the
strategic environment that India faces and will assess its utility in
India’s attempt to re-define its strategic position in the regional and
global power hierarchy. Drawing from the Indian experience, this paper
will also explore the parameters that might define the nuclear postures
and doctrines of the emerging nuclear states and the possible responses
of
the established nuclear weapons states. |
