Dozens of states have long been capable of acquiring nuclear
weapons, yet only a few have actually done so. Jacques E. C. Hymans
finds that the key to this surprising historical pattern lies not
in externally imposed constraints, but rather in state leaders'
conceptions of the national identity. Synthesizing a wide range of
scholarship from the humanities and social sciences to experimental
psychology and neuroscience, Hymans builds a rigorous model of
decisionmaking that links identity to emotions and ultimately to
nuclear policy choices. Exhaustively researched case studies of
France, India, Argentina, and Australia - two that got the bomb and
two that abstained - demonstrate the value of this model while
debunking common myths. This book will be invaluable to
policymakers and concerned citizens who are frustrated with the
frequent misjudgments of states' nuclear ambitions, and to scholars
who seek a better understanding of how leaders make big foreign
policy decisions.
