Abstract

The question under consideration is what will happen if India and Pakistan become NPT members as nuclear states. The author focuses on conditions of potential enlargement of nuclear club and consequences for the regime. India and Pakistan are ready to join, but only as nuclear-weapon States. Potential accession of these countries to the NPT as NWS will strengthen the existing non-proliferation regime or completely discredits his indispensable foundations?
