Thought to have been marginalized by the end of the Cold War,
nuclear weapons have returned to the center of U.S. security
concerns. As North Korea have removed the veil of uncertainty by
public acknowledgment of its nuclear weapons and Iran is thought to
seeks a nuclear weapons capability, fears that rogue states and
non-state actors might acquire and use nuclear weapons are a new
reality.
This volumes places the latest developments related to nuclear
weapons, deterrence, and proliferation within the context of
evolving U.S. security policy. After summarizing the most important
milestones in the development of U.S. nuclear strategy, it
considers present and future security dilemmas related to nuclear
weapons such as the complications posed for stable deterrence by
the information age, nuclear proliferation and technological
innovations. Subsequent chapters offer a complete analysis of
contemporary issues such as missile defenses, nuclear proliferation
and Israel's nuclear deterrent.
As nonproliferation, missile defenses, or preemptive war strategies
cannot guarantee nuclear containment and the potential for a
nuclear arms race in Asia among the already nuclear anointed and
the nuclear aspiring states, creates the possibility of
destabilizing an entire region, the author warns that U.S. and
Soviet experience in the Cold War is not necessarily a normative
one and should not encourage complacency on the part of policy
makers.
This book will constitute an essential reading for students of
international relations, proliferation and security studies as well
as for policy-makers and military strategists.
