The first systematic look at the different strategies that states
employ in their pursuit of nuclear weapons Much of the work on
nuclear proliferation has focused on why states pursue nuclear
weapons. The question of how states pursue nuclear weapons has
received little attention. Seeking the Bomb is the first book to
analyze this topic by examining which strategies of nuclear
proliferation are available to aspirants, why aspirants select one
strategy over another, and how this matters to international
politics. Looking at a wide range of nations, from India and Japan
to the Soviet Union and North Korea to Iraq and Iran, Vipin Narang
develops an original typology of proliferation strategies-hedging,
sprinting, sheltered pursuit, and hiding. Each strategy of
proliferation provides different opportunities for the development
of nuclear weapons, while at the same time presenting distinct
vulnerabilities that can be exploited to prevent states from doing
so. Narang delves into the crucial implications these strategies
have for nuclear proliferation and international security. Hiders,
for example, are especially disruptive since either they
successfully attain nuclear weapons, irrevocably altering the
global power structure, or they are discovered, potentially
triggering serious crises or war, as external powers try to halt or
reverse a previously clandestine nuclear weapons program. As the
international community confronts the next generation of potential
nuclear proliferators, Seeking the Bomb explores how global
conflict and stability are shaped by the ruthlessly pragmatic ways
states choose strategies of proliferation.
