A "second nuclear age" has begun in the post-Cold War world.
Created by the expansion of nuclear arsenals and new proliferation
in Asia, it has changed the familiar nuclear geometry of the Cold
War. Increasing potency of nuclear arsenals in China, India, and
Pakistan, the nuclear breakout in North Korea, and the potential
for more states to cross the nuclear-weapons threshold from Iran to
Japan suggest that the second nuclear age of many competing nuclear
powers has the potential to be even less stable than the first.
Strategy in the Second Nuclear Age assembles a group of
distinguished scholars to grapple with the matter of how the United
States, its allies, and its friends must size up the strategies,
doctrines, and force structures currently taking shape if they are
to design responses that reinforce deterrence amid vastly more
complex strategic circumstances. By focusing sharply on strategy -
that is, on how states use doomsday weaponry for political gain -
the book distinguishes itself from familiar net assessments
emphasizing quantifiable factors like hardware, technical
characteristics, and manpower. While the emphasis varies from
chapter to chapter, contributors pay special heed to the
logistical, technological, and social dimensions of strategy
alongside the specifics of force structure and operations. They
never lose sight of the human factor - the pivotal factor in
diplomacy, strategy, and war.
