The anthology South Asia at a Crossroads contains insightful contributions to a number of current security issues in South Asia from a global perspective. The book is characterized by the fact that it presents difficult topics at the interface of science, technology and politics in a generally understandable way. Bringing together essays by academics, diplomats, MPs and senior policy advisors from Asia, America and Europe, it addresses issues of concern to both global security and the region, particularly for neighboring nuclear powers India and Pakistan, which are focus of the tape.
Topics covered include missile defence, satellite-based surveillance to improve strategic security and space armaments. The beginning of the "space race" in Asia is also being scrutinized. The volume also deals with the future of nuclear arms control, disarmament and, above all, with the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
The volume contains critical examinations of the recently concluded nuclear agreement between the USA and India as well as contributions to the energy security of Pakistan and India. As the title suggests, the book explores possibilities for regional cooperation on complex and conflictual issues.
