It has been argued that the Covid-19 pandemic may seem to serve as a prelude to war, especially in the aftermath of the recent border skirmish between India and China. The present paper attempts to negate this argument, delineating instead a strategy by which the pandemic and its massively devastating after-effects would act as a new form of deterrence between the two Asian states—a ‘perilous deterrent’, but a deterrent nonetheless. The pandemic will arguably impel both nations to embark upon an urgent re-evaluation of their respective security policies. The hypothesis of this paper is verified by invoking the contingent realist theory of International Relations. India also needs to develop a more robust nuclear security protocol which would effectively deter further aggression from China and Pakistan. As a contingent realist strategy, ‘perilous deterrent’ would proffer conditional strategic choices based upon security-seeking and revisionist motives of states locked in a conflictual dyadic relationship.","PeriodicalId":288676,"journal":{"name":"Constitutional Diplomacy","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116910980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
