一九九八年五月十一日及十三日的印度核試，是在國際達成禁止核武擴散和禁止核子試爆的共識後，其試爆之理由令人感興趣。再者，美國一向以世界警察之角色自居，對於印度核試之事件亦積極介入並對印度予以經濟制裁。美國之介入顯是出於維護國際核武秩序及其核武戰略的考量。印度核試雖引起短暫的區域不穩定，但在美國的介入下並未改變國際核武秩序。 India has nuclear tested on May 11st and 13rd in 1998.This event shocked states in the world. The nuclear test was done after the states have got the common sense of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear non-test. The reasons of Indian nuclear test are interesting. Another, America always thinks herself as the police of the world. She intervened in this event naturally. American’s goal is to sustain the international nuclear order and her nuclear strategy. Indian nuclear test made the South Asia unstable in a short time, but never made the international nuclear order changing.
