Description: Ploughshares and Swords by Jayita Sarkar Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "This book is a study of Indias nuclear program (1940s-1980s) through its global partnerships with governments and businesses, its close association with the space program, its anti-nonproliferation stance during most of the Cold War, and the intermestic territorial threats that influenced its unique outcomes"- Publisher Description Indias nuclear program is often misunderstood as an inward-looking endeavor of secretive technocrats. In Ploughshares and Swords, Jayita Sarkar challenges this received wisdom, narrating a global story of Indias nuclear program during its first forty years. The book foregrounds the programs civilian and military features by probing its close relationship with the space program. Through nuclear and space technologies, Indias leaders served the technopolitical aims of economic modernity and the geopolitical goals of deterring adversaries.The politically savvy, transnationally connected scientists and engineers who steered the program obtained technologies, materials, and information through a variety of state and nonstate actors from Europe and North America, including both superpowers. They thus maneuvered around Cold War politics and the choke points of the nonproliferation regime. Hyperdiversification increased choices for the leaders of the nuclear program but reduced democratic accountability at home. The nuclear program became a consensus-enforcing device in the name of the nation.Ploughshares and Swords is a provocative new history with global implications. It shows how geopolitical and technopolitical visions influence decisions about the nation after decolonization.Thanks to generous funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.
