Abstract

ABSTRACT In the mid-2000s, India turned from a nuclear pariah of the international community into a de facto recognized nuclear power. Why and how did this status elevation come about? Realist, liberal, and constructivist perspectives point to important motivations but fail to elucidate the process of India’s (re-)integration. Our strategic cooptation argument conceives of India’s status upgrade as an exchange of institutional privileges for institutional support. To stabilize the nuclear non-proliferation regime, the United States and other nuclear powers offered India the privilege of being recognized as nuclear power—and of taking part in international nuclear trade—in return for India’s promise to provide additional support to the non-proliferation regime. This deal materialized because India was able and willing to provide the needed support and because the institutional setting provided favorable conditions for circumventing and overcoming third-party resistance. We thus establish “strategic cooptation” as a mode of adapting international security institutions.

印度被承认为核大国:一个战略合作案例
摘要2000年代中期,印度从国际社会的核贱民变成了事实上公认的核大国。为什么以及如何实现这种地位提升?现实主义、自由主义和建构主义的观点指出了重要的动机,但未能阐明印度(重新)一体化的过程。我们的战略合作论点将印度的地位提升视为制度特权与制度支持的交换。为了稳定核不扩散制度,美国和其他核大国向印度提供了被承认为核大国并参与国际核贸易的特权,以换取印度承诺为不扩散制度提供更多支持。这项协议之所以得以实现,是因为印度能够并愿意提供所需的支持,也是因为体制环境为规避和克服第三方阻力提供了有利条件。因此,我们将“战略合作”确立为调整国际安全机构的一种模式。

期刊介绍: One of the oldest peer-reviewed journals in international conflict and security, Contemporary Security Policy promotes theoretically-based research on policy problems of armed conflict, intervention and conflict resolution. Since it first appeared in 1980, CSP has established its unique place as a meeting ground for research at the nexus of theory and policy. Spanning the gap between academic and policy approaches, CSP offers policy analysts a place to pursue fundamental issues, and academic writers a venue for addressing policy. Major fields of concern include: War and armed conflict Peacekeeping Conflict resolution Arms control and disarmament Defense policy Strategic culture International institutions. CSP is committed to a broad range of intellectual perspectives. Articles promote new analytical approaches, iconoclastic interpretations and previously overlooked perspectives. Its pages encourage novel contributions and outlooks, not particular methodologies or policy goals. Its geographical scope is worldwide and includes security challenges in Europe, Africa, the Middle-East and Asia. Authors are encouraged to examine established priorities in innovative ways and to apply traditional methods to new problems.
