India's nuclear counter-revolution: nuclear learning and the future of deterrence/ Frank O'Donnell - 2019

This article examines India's learning pathway since 1998 and instead they are pursuing its own "revolution," in the direction of creating capabilities for flexible response and escalation dominance. It also shows the similarities between Indian strategic behavior and contemporary practices of other nuclear-armed states and suggests that New Delhi's emerging de facto nuclear doctrine and posture is part of a broader empirical challenge to our current conceptions of the nuclear revolution and of nuclear learning.
