The myth of the Nuclear Revolution : power politics in the atomic age / Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press
Series: (Cornell studies in security affairs)Publication details: [New York] : Cornell University Press , 2020 Description: 169 p. ; 24 cmISBN: 9781501749292Subject(s): Geopolítica | Política nuclear | Relaciones internacionales | Armas nuclearesAbstract: Leading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying?| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
