<p>The dispute between India and Pakistan over
Kashmir is one of the world's most protracted and potentially dangerous
conflicts. While the international community has strong interest in limiting
violent conflagration between the two states; third party action aimed at amelioration
has been very limited. This contrasts with overall global mediation efforts,
which have increased in the post-Cold War period. Using archival research, this
study explores the reasons for the Government of India's implacable opposition
to any external intervention in the conflict. We argue that both strategic and
ideational motivations have influenced its decisions. In particular, India's
strict adherence to the principle of strategic autonomy precludes the
possibility of accepting external mediation. By exploring how and why strategic
and ideational motivations intersect to become a formidable barrier to third
party intervention, this article contributes to our understanding of why
certain countries develop resistance to mediation.</p><p>Table S1. Selected multilateral treaties; </p><p>Table
