India’s Nuclear Policy Since 1998
This unique book examines India's nuclear policy in both the military and civilian sectors. It combines empirical research with a historical approach, and outlines a theoretical framework to address India's nuclear policy, covering international relations concepts such as nuclear brinkmanship, the stability-instability paradox, and defensive and offensive realism. The author points to the problems of nuclear deterrence in South Asia, due to irrationality among politicians in India and Pakistan. Furthermore, India and Pakistan's concealment of their nuclear policies indicates instability. Both India and Pakistan have a distorted perception of the security crisis in South Asia.

Four Crises and a Peace Process
India and Pakistan, nuclear neighbors and rivals, fought the last of three major wars in 1971. Far from peaceful, however, the period since then has been "one long crisis, punctuated by periods of peace." The long-disputed Kashmir issue continues to be both a cause and consequence of India-Pakistan hostility. Four Crises and a Peace Process focuses on four contained conflicts on the subcontinent: the Brasstacks Crisis of 1986–1987, the Compound Crisis of 1990, the Kargil Conflict of 1999, and the Border Confrontation of 2001–2002.

Global Politics of Defense Reform
This volume analyzes the impact of key global trends on civil-military relations by examining defense reform processes since the end of the Cold War. Civil - military relations are reconceptualized to emphasize three dimensions: civilian control of the armed forces, effectiveness in carrying out roles and missions, and efficiency in use of resources. The key global trends that affect these dimensions are the globalization of new norms and ideas, the democratization of governance, technological innovation, and economic liberalization. By focusing on defense reform processes, this book examines cases where civil-military relations can potentially alter quite rapidly under the impact of global trends. By comparing cases across Europe, Asia, North and South America, this book argues that democratization and globalization have had an outsized role in determining the timing and sequence of defense reform and the consequent impact on civil-military relations.
