This book offers a comprehensive examination of the important
security issue of tactical nuclear weapons in Europe. Nuclear
nonproliferation and disarmament have returned to the top of the
international political agenda. The issue assumes particular
importance in regard to NATO, given that some 150-200 US tactical
nuclear weapons (TNWs) are still present in five countries
belonging to the Alliance (Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands
and Turkey). The past few years have seen animated debate in the
United States and Europe on the role of such weapons in the current
scenario of international security, and whether they can be further
reduced or completely removed from Europe. Bringing together
leading scholars and analysts of TNW with country-specific
competences, this volume improves our understanding of this debate
by providing in-depth analysis of the presence, role, perceived
value and destiny of TNWs in Europe. The book addresses the issue
in a systematic manner, taking into account the perspectives of all
main actors directly or indirectly involved in the debate. This
approach provides new and important insights that can inform both
theoretical and policy work on a very critical and timely
international issue, especially during the ongoing review of NATO's
deterrence and defence posture. This book will be of much interest
to students of European politics, European security, nuclear
proliferation, and IR in general.

There are little doubts that Italy has attempted to play a more
assertive role in the international arena since the end of the Cold
War. During the first forty years of its Republican history,
conditioned by both the polarized international context and an
antagonistic domestic political system, Italy delegated its main
choices in international affairs to external actors, most notably
NATO and the European Union. The transition from a bipolar to a
unipolar/multipolar world order provided Italy with new
opportunities to pursue its political and commercial interests more
autonomously, as well as new responsibilities, to actively
contribute to solving conflicts and addressing new global threats.
At the same time, the collapse of the traditional parties (linked
to the fall of the Berlin wall and the Clean Hands enquiries) and
the changes of the electoral law (from a proportional
representation into a quasi-majoritarian system) generated two
heterogeneous coalitions which have regularly alternated in power,
but do not always share the same views and approaches-with
differences at times of form, and more often of substance. Against
this background, Italy in the Post-Cold War Order: Adaptation,
Bipartisanship, Visibility, edited by Maurizio Carbone, seeks to
explain the evolution of Italy's international action over a
twenty-year span (1989 2009). Three central questions are
addressed. First, how does Italy adapt to transformations of the
international system? Second, how does its ever-changing political
system influence Italy's choices in foreign relations? Third, how
do domestic structures constrain (or enable) Italy's place on the
world stage? To answer these questions, this book consists of two
broad parts. The first part sets the context and discusses issues
'horizontally, ' focusing on foreign policy, security and defense
policy, development cooperation, and multilateral action. The
second part, which takes a 'vertical' approach, discusses Italy's
relations with key countries and regions of the world
