This book applies the cutting-edge socio-cultural model Cultural
Topography Analytic Framework (CTAF) pioneered in the authors'
earlier volume Strategic Culture and Weapons of Mass Destruction:
Culturally Based Insights into Comparative National Security
Policymaking (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009) with an eye towards
isolating those vectors of nuclear decision-making on which the US
might exert influence within a foreign state. The case studies
included in this volume tackle a number of the nuclear
challenges-termed "nuclear thresholds"-likely to be faced by the US
and identify the most promising points of leverage available to
American policymakers in ameliorating a wide range of
over-the-horizon nuclear challenges. Because near and medium-term
nuclear thresholds are likely to involve both allies and
adversaries simultaneously, meaning that US response will require
strategies tailored to both the perception of threat experienced by
the actors in question, the value the actors place on their
relationship with the US, and the domestic context driving
decision-making. This volume offers a nuanced look at each actor's
identity, national norms, values, and perceptual lens in order to
offer culturally-focused insights into behavior and intentions.
