Revisiting nuclear India : strategic culture and (in)security imaginary - New Delhi Sage Publication 2015 - 329 pages ; hb 9x6

Interrogating the socially constructed nature of a nation's strategic culture to explain its nuclear security policies is not a common practice in the mainstream scholarships of strategic culture studies and International Relations. Revisiting Nuclear India is an effort to reorient strategic culture and international security studies in this direction. It uses India's nuclear policy and security issue as a case study to lay threadbare how these are affected by multiple factors of political, economic, technological, domestic, bureaucratic, institutional, historical and cultural significance. The work tries to connect and locate what constitutes India's strategic culture, its nationalist identity, insecurities and nuclear policy parameters.
This book renders a novel line of theoretical and analytical approach to study a discursive link between the reconstructions of India's strategic cultures, insecurities and, India's nuclear policy choices from 1947 to the present.
