Nuclear Rivalry and International Order (International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO)) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Despite the ending of the Cold War and superpower rivalry, the world contains many nuclear-armed states. This challenging analysis of the continuing role of nuclear weapons in inter-state rivalry shows how they remain today one of the most important issues for the future of peace. The determination of the role of nuclear weapons will be crucial to the prospects for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. This intriguing volume begins by examining the relevance of nuclear weapons to the ′long peace′ between the superpowers during the Cold War. Were they a necessary condition for peace? Were they irrelevant or only marginally relevant? Is there any evidence to point to the future role of nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War world? The answers to these questions leads to question the present and future role of nuclear weapons and the opportunities for disarmament and non-proliferation. The perceived insecurity of rival states is highlighted as the most important obstacle to an effective international non-proliferation regime. This timely, comprehensive volume presents a review of the role of nuclear weapons in the ′long peace′ and will be essential reading for students and professionals in the fields of peace studies, defense studies, and international relations.
