![]() | Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era Subjects: POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / Arms Control.; POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General.; Security International; Deterrence (Strategy); Nuclear warfare; Nuclear weapons; The world is in a second nuclear age in which regional powers play an increasingly prominent role. These states have small nuclear arsenals, often face multiple active conflicts, and sometimes have weak institutions. How do these nuclear states--and potential future ones--manage their nuclear forces and influence international conflict? Examining the reasoning and deterrence consequences of regional power nuclear strategies, this book demonstrates that these strategies matter greatly to international stability and it provides new insights into conflict dynamics across important areas of the world such as the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia. Vipin Narang is assistant professor of political science and member of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
