This book offers valuable insights into the causes and consequences
of nuclear proliferation. Through the development of new datasets
and the application of cutting edge research methods, contributors
to this volume significantly advance the frontiers of research on
nuclear weapons. Essays in this volume address why states acquire
nuclear weapons, why they engage in nuclear cooperation, and also
explore the relationship between nuclear weapons possession and a
variety of security and diplomatic consequences. In addition to
accelerating the development of an empirical research agenda, the
chapters combine to form a coherent storyline that shows nuclear
technology and capabilities have been under appreciated as a cause
of proliferation in recent scholarly literature. For scholars and
practitioners alike, there is a strategic logic to nuclear
assistance that is essential to understand. Moreover, several of
the essays show that the consequences of nuclear proliferation are
more complex than is conventionally understood. Nuclear weapons can
have both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. Nuclear weapons
may simultaneously cause their owners to become more influential,
more successful in the wars they choose to fight, and to have less
intense conflicts, when these conflicts occur. This book will be of
much interest to students of arms control and nuclear
proliferation, war and conflict studies, security studies and IR.
