This book explores Indian nuclear diplomacy in post May 1998 and deconstructs the discourse presented in public and private sphere. It shows how India discursively constructed its self image as the promoter of peace and stability not only in the region but in the entire world and employed concerns raised by international community in the prevailing environment to present a discourse that looked sensible and even attractive. The discursive constructions in Indian nuclear diplomacy discourse offer a fresh insight into Indian strategic culture and will draw attention of many scholars and policy makers not only in South Asia but across the world. Scholars and researchers working in the field of discourse analysis, international relations, strategic studies and nuclear non-proliferation will find this book of great interest.
