The Moment

Quantitative estimates show that India's nuclear tests caused important economic damage to India and its neighbors, Pakistan and China. Pakistan's tests caused further economic damage to all three countries. In response to India's tests, India's stock market fell by 7.26 percent, Pakistan's by 10.59 percent and China's by 2.70 percent. In response to Pakistan's tests, India's stock market fell by another 5.57 percent, Pakistan's by 16.82 percent and China's by 3.93 percent. Overall, the two countries' tests caused India's stock market to fall by 12.83 percent, Pakistan's by 27.41 percent and China's by 6.63 percent. Some argue that going nuclear increased India and Pakistan's national security and their international political standing. In the financial markets' opinion, these tests caused major reductions in both countries' economic security, and harmed China's economic security. The tests had no important effects on the Group of Ten countries' stock markets; thus, the tests' economic effects seem for the moment of be confined to southern Asia.

Soil Cleanup

The plutonium material within the nuclear devices would be aerosolized, released from the source-term and deposited in the soil after nuclear tests or accidents. Due to the natural and artificial disturbances the plutonium aerosols deposited in the soil would resuspend into the air. The hazard analysis of plutonium aerosol resuspension in typical dated nuclear-polluted regions is significative for radiation assessment and post-accident depuration in contaminated regions. The analysis shows that the soil eroding is the intrinsic factor of plutonium aerosol resuspension. The airborne contaminated concentration in non-nuclear source-term is much higher than nuclear source-term. The soil cleanup would lead to short-term rise of the airborne concentration. From the estimation of the equivalent dose, it is clear that the radiation hazards of the resuspended particulates in typical dated nuclear-polluted regions are extremely limited. After soil cleanup the annual effective doses of the contaminated regions are far below the radiation protection standards.

The Relationship

How do we understand the relationship between ‘national security’ and a global capitalist economy? I argue in this article that liberal constructivist scholars have tended to ignore the constitutive effects of the global economy in the process of distancing themselves from ‘materialist ontologies’ and ‘rationalist epistemologies’. I contend that an important aspect of state identities is that they are dynamic and are historically constituted in and through a relationship to global capital. Only by paying close attention to this fluctuating terrain, can one make sense of the security practices of nation-states. In the latter half of the article, I illustrate my argument with an analysis of the Indian nuclear tests of 1998.
