Summary/Abstract |
Much has been said about the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty; a treaty signed between the United States and the Soviet Union during the later stages of the Cold War. But, in the present times, both the United States and Russia have time and again accused each other of violating the treaty. Both parties have also suggested China be included in the treaty. This article discusses whether Beijing should be included in the INF Treaty and the factors associated with such entry.

Summary/Abstract |
As Pakistan continues to increase its fissile material stockpile, potentially soon surpassing France’s and Britain's,1 and as China is also modernizing its nuclear force, India's nuclear deterrence posture needs to be discussed. India is moving toward a ‘credible minimum deterrent posture,’ with nuclear-capable ballistic missiles and aircraft now a reality. India's no-first-use doctrine coupled with a recessed deterrence posture has enabled New Delhi to strengthen strategic stability in the South Asian periphery by ensuring a high nuclear threshold.

Summary/Abstract |
Post the Cuban missile crisis, the arms race started to be viewed as a “necessary evil.”1 A predominant feature of the US-Soviet relationship comprised the efforts made by the two superpowers to indulge in nuclear arms reduction for strategic stability. The Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was one such effort of the arms control measures. On December 8, 1987 President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev signed the treaty and agreed to a ‘double global zero’ in which both short range and intermediate range missiles would be eliminated.2 This paper aims to study the background of the treaty by briefly tracing the reasons for the signing of the treaty, the obligations of the treaty, the successes of the treaty, its limitations, and the implications of withdrawing from the treaty.

Summary/Abstract |
As Poland is fielding the US missile defence system in its territory, it is also simultaneously working on its own missile defence system due to the trust deficit with the United States. The Ukranian crisis and the integration of Crimea into Russia have prompted Poland to beef up its missile defence programme. However, as Warsaw strives to modernise its missile defence capabilities, this article would aim to study the politics of fielding a missile defence system in Poland from certain important dimensions.
