| 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.
