| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article focuses on Pakistan's policy option of "minimum deterrence" (MD) post-1998 nuclearization of South Asia and explores why "minimum" in reality is not the minimum. It states that the term "minimum" has not been fully defined yet due to which MD stays ambiguous. In addition, it endeavors to elaborate the rudimentary factors responsible for the non-existence of an MD, which, in turn, keeps the Pakistani stance on MD dynamic and evolving. |
