Policy Forum 23 on the 2019 Kashmir Crisis

September 3, 2019January 23, 2021 By Stacie Goddard, Christopher Clary, Asfandyar Mir, Ayesha Ray

On 5 August 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government announced the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which granted the state of Jammu and Kashmir autonomy within India, including a separate constitution, a state flag and control over internal administrative matters. At the same time, Modi’s government also abolished Article 35A, which…

Article Review 108 on Aqil Shah. “Do U.S. Drone Strikes Cause Blowback? Evidence from Pakistan and Beyond.”

February 6, 2019December 24, 2020 By Ahsan I. Butt

Analyses of drones often generate more heat than light, but Aqil Shah’s article is a welcome change. Shah argues U.S. drone strikes do not cause “blowback” in Pakistan or anywhere else, basing his claims primarily upon field interviews conducted in Pakistan. As he summarizes, “I find no evidence of a significant impact of drone strikes…

Roundtable 8-4 on Bargaining on Nuclear Tests: Washington And Its Cold War Rivals

November 16, 2015February 2, 2017 By Francis J. Gavin, Gaurav Kampani, Jayita Sarkar, Or Rabinowitz

Preventing sovereign states from acquiring and deploying a military technology that all but guarantees their security is beyond difficult. Early in the nuclear age, many United States policymakers and analysts thought that nuclear nonproliferation efforts were, at worst, impossible, and, at best, too costly. Despite this pessimism, the U.S. has made nuclear non-proliferation a priority…

Article Review 44 on “Pakistan’s Battlefield Nuclear Policy: A Risky Solution to an Exaggerated Threat.”

November 11, 2015November 20, 2019 By Christopher Clary

In April 2011, Pakistan tested a new missile, the Hatf-9 Nasr, designed to deliver nuclear warheads to targets within a 60-kilometer range. While scholars had inferred that Pakistan’s nuclear posture might require it to employ nuclear weapons against tactical targets on the battlefield,[1] this was the first platform designed explicitly for that goal. This missile…

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? These are obviously important questions for students of world politics, but unfortunately they are also questions that have been largely ignored as scholars focused their attention on the nuclear superpowers of the bipolar era. Of course,…

Forum 8 on “Special Issue: The Origins of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime.”

May 18, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Last year, Scott Sagan declared – on H-Diplo – that we are in the midst of a renaissance in nuclear studies, driven by first-rate work by younger scholars.[1] Two qualities in particular mark this scholarship. First, many of these young scholars combine both methodological innovation and rigor while engaging new archival sources. Second, these scholars…

Roundtable 7-16 on Networks of Rebellion: Explaining Insurgent Cohesion and Collapse

May 11, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Understanding the nature of insurgencies has long been an important objective for political scientists, historians, and policymakers. In Networks of Rebellion, Paul Staniland argues that scholars have paid insufficient attention to the different organizational structures of insurgent groups. In his view, understanding organizational structure is crucial because “states and their foes spend far more time…

Article Review 35 on “A Recent History of al-Qa’ida”

March 18, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

The dangers of writing about terrorism and terrorist groups, most especially al-Qa’ida, are twofold. The first is that the field is so inundated with punditry and scholarship on the subject that new entrants easily can be lost in the noise; the second is that in order to avoid being lost in the noise the temptation…

Roundtable 7-14 on The Pathologies of Power: Fear, Honor, Glory, and Hubris in U.S. Foreign Policy

March 9, 2015September 14, 2020 By H-Diplo

Why did the United States, despite vigorous public debates over the wisdom of invading Iraq, pursue an ultimately disastrous war with Iraq in 2003? After all, as John Stuart Mill and others have suggested, such debates in the ‘marketplace of ideas’ should surely have led to a solid consensus against such a course. Explaining why…

Article Review 31 on “The India−Pakistan Rivalry and Failure in Afghanistan.”

January 20, 2015October 4, 2015 By H-Diplo

In a timely article, John Mitton seeks to show how the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan has hampered NATO’s efforts in Afghanistan and contributed to its failure. The author is careful in noting that while the rivalry is not the only reason for failure, it certainly is a factor. The author also cites many…
