The consequences of a nuclear test are far from easy to bear, however: economic sanctions can be crippling and nuclear capability automatically makes one a nuclear target. Why, then, do states test nuclear weapons? This thesis aims to determine the answer to this question using India as a model. It is well known that India tested nuclear weapons in 1974 and in 1998, but less well known are the near-tests of 1983, 1995, and 1996. This thesis examines the situation in these years and the details of the nuclear decisions based on four hypotheses: technical concerns, security and power, domestic politics, and norms and ideas.

  • Report Idea 1
    Science Policy and Security AAAS activities are helping to promote the responsible use of science and technology to improve human well-being. From testimony on technologies for detecting “dirty bomb” components, to a highly regarded fellowship program and gold-standard R&D budget analysis, AAAS seeks to provide objective, authoritative scientific and technological insights to policy-makers. In 2005, AAAS science policy efforts focused on improving innovation, promoting international collaboration, enhancing national security, and more. Innovation and Competitiveness in the United States AAAS urged the President and Congress to take strong steps to sustain American innovation by investing in high-risk, breakthrough research and by improving science education at all levels. “We do not want to put our country and our knowledge-based, technology-driven economy in the position of ‘catch-up,’” wrote Gilbert S. Omenn of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, then AAAS President, in a 9 December letter to U.S. President George W. Bush. Meanwhile, AAAS Chairman of the Board Shirley Ann Jackson contributed to the National Academies’ report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, and worked with the Council on Competitiveness Innovation Initiative. Those efforts culminated with the National Summit on Competitiveness, hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in conjunction with other Cabinet-level departments and business organizations. As president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Jackson also wrote to President Bush, warning that “our science and technology position is a looming national crisis because it robs us of our capacity for innovation.” President Bush subsequently released his American Competitiveness Initiative, which proposes broad investment in research and development, education, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
