IndoPakistani relations are shadowed by nuclear weapons and nuclear-capable missiles may soon be deployed. Neil Joeck argues that basic nuclear capabilities have not created strategic stability. They neither explain the absence of war over the past decade nor why war is currently unlikely. While limited nuclear capabilities increase the costs of conflict, they do little to reduce the risk of it occurring. The author asserts that the development of command and control mechanisms would enhance stability in a crisis and improve India and Pakistan's ability to avoid nuclear use if war breaks out, and that diplomatic steps focused in particular on missiles must also be considered. With nuclear weapons in hand, the price if deterrence fails is high. Investing more resources on a bet that nuclear capabilities ensure safety only raises the penalties if the initial decision was wrong. Neil Joeck proposes command and control and diplomatic engagement as providing some insurance that, if that bet is called, nuclear use is not the only choice left.
