About this title

Synopsis

With stocks reduced, and plans revised, relations between states with nuclear arsenals have been transformed after the Cold War. However, Patrick Morgan argues that these changes have not been accompanied by great advances in our knowledge of whether and how deterrence works. He accordingly explores the state of deterrence theory and its continuing relevance under conditions of nuclear proliferation, collective security organizations, and a revolution in military affairs.

Book Description

Patrick Morgan's book is an authoritative study of the place of deterrence in the modern world. After the Cold War relations between states with nuclear arsenals have been transformed, with stocks reduced, and plans revised. However, Morgan argues that these changes have not been accompanied by great advances in our knowledge of whether and how deterrence works. He explores the state of deterrence theory and its continuing relevance under conditions of nuclear proliferation, collective security organisations, and a revolution in military affairs.
