Arms Control and International Security (Hardcover): Roman Kolkowicz Arms Control and International Security (Hardcover)
Roman Kolkowicz
R4,471 Discovery Miles 44 710 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Designed to introduce the reader to the critical issues of arms control and international security in the 1980s, this collection of provocative and challenging articles encourages a rethinking of conventional wisdom on strategic policy. The authors succinctly convey the tensions existing between those who would eliminate the weapons on which strategic deterrence has rested and those who see the Soviet nuclear buildup as a challenge that must be met with increased armaments. They reflect, as well, on the conceptual tension between eliminating nuclear weapons and answering the question of how defense can be managed in the nuclear era. Their contributions are at times compelling, at times frustrating, but at all times informative and of critical importance.

The Logic of Nuclear Terror (Paperback): Roman Kolkowicz The Logic of Nuclear Terror (Paperback)
Roman Kolkowicz
R1,158 Discovery Miles 11 580 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Originally published in 1987, The Logic of Nuclear Terror presented a much-needed critical review of the premises, concepts, and policy prescriptions of deterrence theories and doctrines at the time. In particular, authors address: the historical validity, theoretical vitality, and policy-relevance of nuclear deterrence theories and doctrines; the ways in which technological and political change have affected the original concepts of nuclear war and deterrence strategies, and the ways in which such changes have affected policy and doctrine; and realistic alternative ways of thinking about strategy in the changing context of new military technologies and international politics. The outstanding group of international contributors to this volume include both proponents and critics of current doctrine. The result is an unusually well-balanced and unique contribution to our understanding of nuclear deterrence theory and practice. As such, it will be of interest to students, policymakers, and teachers of international relations, defense and foreign policy, US-Soviet relations, and arms control and disarmament.

Dilemmas of Nuclear Strategy (Paperback): Roman Kolkowicz Dilemmas of Nuclear Strategy (Paperback)
Roman Kolkowicz
R1,813 Discovery Miles 18 130 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Nuclear strategy and deterrence in their golden age -a nostalgically defined period sometime in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s - promised to harness and control the nuclear Moloch; hopes were high that the civilian strategists flooding into Washington would succeed in designing a new science of war that would safeguard national security, provide a stable international environment, and develop a rational decision-making process for the management of national interests in a hostile nuclear world. Three decades later, it is a commonplace that the erstwhile promises and pretensions of the nuclear whiz kids and the wizards of Armageddon have not lived up to expectations.
