New Nukes is a sharp critique of India and Pakistan's nuclearization and its
impact on the prospect for global disarmament, as well as on South Asian
societies, politics and security. It argues that nuclear weapons possession
has degraded India and Pakistan's security. Rather than assert independence,
the two states have slavishly imitated the Great Powers and created new
dangers in the region.
The book builds a moral, political and economic case against reliance on
nuclear weapons for security, and pleads for practical steps towards the
complete global abolition of nuclear weapons.
