Nuclear stability and arms sales to India: implications for U.S. policy

Article Abstract:

The US is offering the transfer of military technology to India in an attempt to nurture renewed bilateral negotiations between India and Pakistan. Military technology transfer is a useful prize because the US provides it in a quantity and quality unrivaled by most of its competitors. However, the US must consider the guidelines under which such transfers are governed for there is reason to believe that nuclear deterrence in South Asia is far from stable and completed US arms transfers have already exacerbated the problem further.
