When there is anarchy in the international political system, uncertainty and fear can seep into the relations between states, leading to a spiral of power, competition, and even war. This anxiety forces some states to modernize their military forces and increases security risks for other states. In addition to international competition, regional power dynamics force states to modernize their militaries to maintain regional balances of power and state security. One of the most precarious regions in the world in this respect is South Asia, where three nuclear powers, China, India, and Pakistan, reside border to border. Chinese economic and military power is a source of strategic convergence for India, the USA’s most significant deliberate partner. Strategic competition between excessive regional powers creates a strategic dilemma for small states in South Asia, such as Pakistan. The geographical contiguity between India and Pakistan makes the region a nuclear flashpoint. To ensure the state’s survival, above and beyond nuclear weapons, Pakistan cannot contest India’s conventional military superiority. The hypothesis of this study is that Pakistan can assure its security by maintaining credible nuclear deterrence instead of trusting in diplomacy or traditional military power alone. This study explores how minimal credible deterrence has historically played a role in ensuring security and strategic stability in bilateral relations between South Asia’s nuclear powers. Keen and close observation of further Indian military modernization and doctrinal transformation is essential if Pakistan is to establish a comprehensive strategy for national security.
