Summary/Abstract |
Strategic stability in South Asia is hardly stable; and ever prone to further destabilization. Twice since going nuclear in 1998, India and Pakistan have faced the danger of an inadvertent nuclear war. Nuclear weapons have been significant in all India-Pakistan confrontations/conflict since the mid-1980 - Brasstacks 1986-87, Compound Crisis 1990, Kargil 1999 and Military Standoff 2002 - when they were inducted into the strategic discourse in the region.

Summary/Abstract |
Due to expanding and increasing religious extremism and terrorism coupled with political instability in Pakistan, most western observers believe that Pakistan's nuclear weapons are not secure and could be taken over by terrorists. This would have adverse implications for the region and for global peace, especially for the security of USA and Europe. This article argues that this perception is based on a flawed understanding and knowledge of how Pakistan's command and control setup has evolved and operates. Pakistan's nuclear weapons are as safe as any other state's nuclear weapons. Pakistan has also been active in supporting and participating in global efforts to improve nuclear safety and security. Over the years, Pakistan has been quite open in sharing information regarding how it is improving its command and control system with western governments as well as scholars. This article argues that the steps Pakistan has taken to secure its nuclear weapons are adequate and that Pakistan would continue to further strengthen these measures; however, it is the expanding religious extremism, terrorism and anti-Americanism in the country which make the international perception of Pakistan extremely negative and then seep into the perception of Pakistan's nuclear weapons safety and security
