The Library has arrangements with other libraries to allow consultation of the resources for ICWA scholars on the basis of their ICWA ID cards. To consolidate it as a premier research library, the Library Committee has decided that the library should be equipped with exhaustive research material and documentation in niche areas of Indian foreign policy, with focus on South Asia. Amid the constraints of reduced staff strength, and the need to strike a balance given the relatively limited utilization of the Library facilities and the persistent challenge of upgrading them, suitable actions are being undertaken to present a tidy/efficient environment.

  • India's Nuclear Odyssey
    India’s Nuclear Odyssey India’s Nuclear Andrew B. Kennedy Odyssey Implicit Umbrellas, Diplomatic Disappointments, and the Bomb India’s search for secu- rity in the nuclear age is a complex story, rivaling Odysseus’s fabled journey in its myriad misadventures and breakthroughs. Little wonder, then, that it has received so much scholarly attention. In the 1970s and 1980s, scholars focused on the development of India’s nuclear “option” and asked whether New Delhi would ever seek to exercise it.1 After 1990, attention turned to India’s emerg- ing, but still hidden, nuclear arsenal.2 Since 1998, India’s decision to become an overt nuclear power has ushered in a new wave of scholarship on India’s nu- clear history and its dramatic breakthrough.3 In addition, scholars now ask whether India’s and Pakistan’s acquisition of nuclear weapons has stabilized or destabilized South Asia.4 Despite all the attention, it remains difªcult to explain why India merely Andrew B. Kennedy is Lecturer in Policy and Governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Gov- ernment at the Australian National University.
