Nuclear Command & Control in Asia as an Indicator of Stability Dynamics and Strategic Intent
Abstract
Objective:
Pakistan and India are nuclear states both struggling with domestic
insurgent threats, bilateral tensions, and increasing concerns over
nuclear safety and security. To ensure the non-use of nuclear
weapons, improved nuclear command and control (C2) must be
further explored as a viable policy consideration for mitigating
nuclear risks in Asia.
