The prevailing security environment in South Asia is assessed under the core principles of the security dilemma to offer unilateral, bilateral and multilateral frameworks to stabilize peace in the region. Moreover, contending patterns of deterrence dynamics in the South Asian region are shown as becoming inextricably interlinked with broader security dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region and the interactions with the United States and China's Belt and Road Initiative. As India and Pakistan are increasingly becoming part of the competing strategies played out by the United States and China, the authors analyse how strategic uncertainty and fear faced by these rival states cause the induction of new technologies. Presenting innovative solutions to emerging South Asian challenges and offering new future security mechanisms for sustainable peace and stability, this book will be of interest to academics working on Asian Security Studies, in particular South Asia, issues of nuclearization and nuclear policy and International Relations."--
