Nuclear technology has been an organizing premise of the
international system since 1945. Eight countries have officially
acknowledged the possession of nuclear weapons. Many countries have
harnessed the atom for electricity generation and other civilian
uses. Roughly 440 commercial nuclear reactors operate in thirty
countries providing 14 percent of the world's electricity. Volatile
oil prices and concerns about climate change have led newly
emerging economies in Asia to express keen interest in using
nuclear energy to meet growing energy demands. Since the basic
technological apparatus for both civilian and military nuclear
programs is the same, there are concerns about the potential spread
of dual-use technology. The future stability of the international
order depends on the responsible management of their nuclear assets
by nuclear powers. The relationship between civilian authorities
and the military takes on special significance in states with
nuclear weapons or near-weapon capability. The constitutional
balance of powers, the delegation of authority during wartime and
peace, influences from public opinion and bureaucratic structures
on the formulation of doctrine, crisis management, and
communications with the international media and the general public
are influenced by civil-military relations and organizational
culture. This volume will be of broad interest to scholars of
civil-military relations, political science, and political
sociology.
