South Asia's Nuclear Security Dilemma: India, Pakistan, and China

The nuclear test explosions in India and Pakistan in 1998, followed by the outbreak of hostilities over Kashmir in 1999, marked a frightening new turn in the ancient, bitter enmity between the two nations. Although the tension was eclipsed by the events of 9/11 and the subsequent American attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, it has not disappeared, as evidenced by the 2001 attack in the Indian Parliament by Islamic fundamentalists out of Kashmir. By 2002, these two nuclear-armed neighbors seemed to be once again on the brink of war. This book outlines the strategic structure of the rivalry and the dynamic forces driving it, and investigates various possible solutions. The expert contributors focus on the India-Pakistan rivalry, but also consider the China factor in South Asia's nuclear security dilemma. Although essentially political-strategic in its approach, the book includes coverage of opposing military arsenals and the impact of local terrorism on the delicate balance of power.

China Under Reform (Politics in Asia & the Pacific: Interdisciplinary Perspectives)

Discussing whether China's unique combination of economic reform and political dictatorship is likely to keep it from the fate of the former Soviet Union, this book traces the momentum for reform back to the 1950s and looks at three central policy arenas of the reform era - political leadership, the mass public, and foreign policy. In each category, the author highlights the vivid contrast between the universal revolutionary impulses that laid the foundation for the Communist Party and the various piecemeal compromises that have been adopted to sustain momentum and control. He argues, finally, that although the revolutionary impulse has been transcended and often forgotten, its lingering influence continues to disrupt, inspire and shape the progress of the continuing Chinese reform effort.
