As the costs of a preemptive foreign policy in Iraq have become
clear, strategies such as containment and deterrence have been
gaining currency among policy makers. This comprehensive book
offers an agenda for the contemporary practice of
deterrence--especially as it applies to nuclear weapons--in an
increasingly heterogeneous global and political setting.
Moving beyond the precepts of traditional deterrence theory, this
groundbreaking volume offers insights for the use of deterrence in
the modern world, where policy makers may encounter irrational
actors, failed states, religious zeal, ambiguous power
relationships, and other situations where the traditional rules of
statecraft do not apply. A distinguished group of contributors here
examines issues such as deterrence among the Great Powers; the
problems of regional and nonstate actors; and actors armed with
chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons. "Complex Deterrence
"will be a valuable resource for anyone facing the considerable
challenge of fostering security and peace in the twenty-first
century.
