Doctrine at work: Obama's evolving nuclear policy and what it bodes for India / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract President Obama made history by coming to office with the promise of working towards a nuclear weapons-free world. Envisioning a new non-proliferation momentum, Obama promised to revive the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) system and create nuclear security and energy architectures that will secure nuclear materials and make proliferation difficult. A year later, Obama realised the difficulties of selling his vision to his bureaucratic-military establishment, which resisted efforts to reduce the role of nuclear weapons while pushing for nuclear modernisation. As Obama's nuclear policy evolves, India is apprehensive that its terms of engagement with the regime could be redefined by Obama. Re-emergence of the traditional divergences on non-proliferation now seems a potential outcome.

India's participation in the proliferation security initiative: issues in perspective / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) is emerging as a key anti-proliferation platform with a global reach. However, being a US-promoted initiative with a military dimension, the PSI is yet to gain a multilateral character and raises concerns among nations. While backing the further expansion of this initiative, President Barack Obama seeks its institutionalization and cooperative enhancement. India is exhorted to join this initiative as part of the strategic cooperation with the United States. However, India is yet to decide its approach towards the PSI owing to various concerns. This article deciphers the complexities associated with this initiative while also examining the scope for alternative anti-proliferation partnerships.

Norm entrepreneur, catalyst or challenger? India in the nuclear non-proliferation narrative / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The history of India’s interaction with the normative structures of the non-proliferation regime has been unique albeit tumultuous. The vibrancy of the roles and identities that India had attained in the normative churning of the regime is a useful case study to understand the dynamics of norm construction within the non-proliferation system. While the model of norm entrepreneurship can be used to explain this phenomenon, the Indian example shows that the spectrum of the term ‘agency’ can transcend the existing understanding of norm entrepreneurship. The article uses India’s non-proliferation history to examine how actors, based on their conceptions of interest and driven by various systemic factors, influence the norm construction process through different role identities.

Phased approach to India's missile defence planning / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract India's missile defence explorations had long been hindered by its limited access to advanced interception technologies and slow pace of indigenization. India is now developing lower- and upper-tier systems for air and missile defence applications, while also aspiring for longer range exoatmospheric interception capability. However, considering that India's requirements are skewed towards lower tier threats, it is prudent to have an all-inclusive architecture that can meet all realistic threats (including air-breathing), with limited financial and political implications. This article formulates a phased approach towards constructing an air/missile defence infrastructure and proposes an enhanced air defence capability as an alternative architecture.

Reforms in the NPT and prospects for India's accession: a situational analysis / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Since its indefinite extension in 1995, the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has been on the sidelines, with its utility eroding in the post-Cold War security environment, as new instruments took over the anti-proliferation mantle. Being the cornerstone of the regime and near-universal in character, the NPT has nonetheless survived despite a host of challenges threatening its existence. Its future, however, is imperilled unless the member states take remedial actions, including a restructuring of the treaty to suit 21st century requirements. Such structural reforms should meet new challenges as well as redress existing shortcomings, including the means to ensure total universalisation.

Year after 26/11: soft responses of a reluctant state / Kumar, A Vinod   Journal Article
Kumar, A Vinod Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Why are the two largest democracies - India and the United States - starkly different when it comes to tackling terrorism? The answer to this perplexing question could lie in the two countries divergent approach to security and management of national security resources. Equally relevant is the variance in their political resoluteness in exercising suitable responses to emergent threats.
