Pakistan’s Arms Procurement and Military Buildup


Why countries engage in military conflict, hostile relations, arms
buildup, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is a question
that has attracted the attention of a number of analysts. Theories
ranging from security concerns to the bureaucratic imperative have
been expounded to explain this particular behavior. Such issues have
become increasingly important, especially since the collapse of the
Soviet Union, and the threat of increase in the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction. The literature, however, remains scant
with the need for more case studies contributing to an understanding
of the subject. Moreover, the general tendency in the literature is to
look at defense decision-making from more than one angle. Arms procurement
and nuclear proliferation need to be understood from a
holistic decision-making standpoint, which has been the aim of this
book. The purpose is to study Pakistan’s arms procurement and military
buildup decision-making. The idea was to carry out a comprehensive
analysis that would be based on an examination of all those
factors that contribute towards the policy-making process.
