On 14 February 2019 a suicide bomber struck an Indian Central Military Reserve Force (CRPF) convoy in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir, killing about 40 Indian paramilitary personnel and injuring numerous others.

July 24, 2017July 22, 2017 By George Lawson, David James Gill, Seo-Hyun Park, Ole Wæver, Jarrod Hayes

“Identity matters for security outcomes”, writes Jarrod Hayes in this fascinating roundtable on his 2013 book, Constructing National Security.

Article Review 48 on “The Making of a Non-Aligned Power: India’s Proliferation Drift 1964-8.”

January 28, 2016February 2, 2017 By Sumit Ganguly

In the aftermath of India’s five nuclear tests in May 1998, one analyst suggested that the motivations underlying its quest for nuclear weapons could be traced to ideas of national modernity and the lack of suitable scrutiny of a secretive scientific enclave.

December 14, 2015September 14, 2020 By James McAllister, Adria Lawrence, Peter Liberman, Michael S. Neiberg, Paul K. MacDonald

Voltaire famously observed that “God is always on the side of the big battalions” (5).

Roundtable 7-17 on Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era: Regional Powers and International Conflict

May 31, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

How do we understand the nuclear strategies of regional powers and how successful are those strategies in deterring conflict?
