REAL-WORLD NUCLEAR DETERRENCE: The Making of International Strategy Rs.695.00/-

$30.00

The threat of nuclear weapons did not fade away with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rather, the geopolitical disorders of the post-Cold War era and the rise of global terrorism have ensured that they remain conspicuously present on the world stage as a serious international concern. With the eight or nine nuclear powers maintaining about 27,000 nuclear weapons in their arsenals to this day, it is clear that they are here to stay for the foreseeable future. The primary mission of these nuclear forces has been and remains deterrence. Yet, the growing threat of nuclear proliferation threatens to create a far more complicated international situation, largely because of the attendant proliferation of state nuclear deterrents.

This book takes a fresh look at how nuclear weapons policy has been made, finding that choices often have had surprisingly little to do with what works and what does not. By studying in depth how governments here and abroad have confronted and dealt with some of the most important issues in nuclear weapons policy, for example, “How many nuclear weapons are enough?” and “What is it that they will deter?” they find that the making of nuclear weapons policy is a complex, fluid bargaining process, subject to the tides of politics, budgets, threat perception, ideology, technology, parochial service rivalries, flawed information, and, sometimes, just plain wishful thinking.
