This book brings together writings of women security experts, scholars and diplomats in India on issues of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
National security, war and strategy are mostly considered male preserves across the world even when, as professional scholars or policy practitioners, women have made significant contributions. Women voices and the subject of disarmament have been hidden in the shadows of mainstream security discourse for far too long. The book seeks to right-stream these by bringing together writings of women security experts, scholars and diplomats in India on issues of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.

International efforts towards sustainable nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament are struggling to find the ‘right’ way. This book shifts the focus to the imperative of disarmament with women authors who share their perspectives on what the future for disarmament looks like and where India—a leading voice on disarmament—stands on these issues. The volume explores India’s nuclear disarmament journey; efforts towards and roadblocks in the implementation of nuclear disarmament verification; confidence-building and nuclear risk reduction measures as pathways towards disarmament; nuclear energy and proliferation trends; linkage between nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament; and India’s commitment towards the Women, Peace and Security agenda.

This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars, researchers, policymakers, and members of the diplomatic community, in the fields of security and strategic studies, international relations, politics, disarmament diplomacy, and nuclear policy.
