Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Nuclear Proliferation
Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Nuclear Proliferation delves deep into the changing global nuclear landscape. The chapters document the increasing complexity of the global nuclear proliferation dynamic and the inability of the international community to come to terms with a rapidly changing strategic milieu. The future, in all likelihood, will be very different from the past, and the chapters in this volume develop a framework that aids a better understanding of the forces that will shape the nuclear proliferation debate in the years to come. Part I examines the major thematic issues underlying the contemporary discourse on nuclear proliferation. Part II gives an overview of the evolving nuclear policies of the five established nuclear powers: the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and the People's Republic of China. Part III looks at the three de facto nuclear states: India, Pakistan and Israel. Part IV examines two `problem states' in the proliferation matrix today: Iran and North Korea. Part V sheds light on an important issue often ignored during discussions of nuclear proliferation – cases where states have made a deliberate policy choice of either renouncing their nuclear weapons programme, or have decided to remain a threshold state. The cases of South Africa, Egypt and Japan will be the focus of this section. Part VI, will examine the present state of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, which most observers agree is currently facing a crisis of credibility. The three pillars of this regime – the NPT, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty – will be analyzed.Table of ContentsProposed Contents1 Introduction: Harsh V.

Cambridge University Press The Nuclear Taboo The United States and the NonUse of Nuclear Weapons Since 1945 87 Cambridge Studies in International Relations Series Number 87
Book SynopsisThere has been no use of nuclear weapons since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nina Tannenwald argues that this was not inevitable, but that a tradition of non-use of nuclear weapons has grown up, based on the feeling that nuclear weapons are not a legitimate weapon of war.Trade Review'At a time when the actual use of nuclear weapons is being contemplated as 'mini-nukes' or 'bunker-busters', Nina Tannenwald's book is a timely reminder of humanity's visceral recoiling from the use of the world's most destructive weapon.' Jayantha Dhanapala, Former United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs and former Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the USA'The Nuclear Taboo is a compelling account of the role of moral restraint in international politics. Tannenwald explains how the habit of non-use has become expected and required behavior, reminding us that there was nothing inevitable about it. She traces the historical trajectory and effect of the taboo on international power politics. She also raises perhaps the most important war-related issue of our time: will the nuclear taboo be broken in light of new technologies and new threats? Read this book and find out how beliefs about right and wrong conduct have shaped the choices of policy makers and the expectations of the public. No explanation of international politics in the nuclear age will be complete without it.' Joel H. Rosenthal, President, Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs'Nina Tannenwald has written a powerful and provocative book examining the influence of ethical norms on U.S. leaders' nuclear weapons decisions. Her thesis that a nuclear taboo has taken hold will be widely read and hotly debated in both university classrooms and inside defense ministries in all nuclear nations.' Scott D. Sagan, Stanford UniversityTable of Contents1. Introduction: the tradition of nuclear non-use; 2. Explaining non-use; 3. Hiroshima and the origins of the nuclear taboo; 4. The Korean War: the emerging taboo; 5. The rise of the nuclear taboo, 1953–1960; 6. Nuclear weapons and the Vietnam War; 7. Institutionalizing the taboo, 1960–1989; 8. The 1991 Gulf War; 9. The taboo in the post-Cold War world; 10. Conclusion: the prospects for the nuclear taboo.

Cambridge University Press After Hiroshima
Book SynopsisAfter Hiroshima, published in 2010, provides a comprehensive history of American nuclear policy in Asia between the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan and the escalation of the Vietnam War in 1965. It forges links between the role of race and debates over US foreign policy in Asia.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'The great strength of this empirically rich study lies in the important interconnections that it traces between two topics that scholars typically treat in isolation: race and nuclear strategy. … Matthew Jones has provided us with one of the most important books on U.S. policy toward early Cold War Asia in recent years.' Robert J. McMahon, Journal of Cold War StudiesReview of the hardback: '… After Hiroshima is authoritative, insightful, well crafted, and wise. It takes its place among the very few books that are essential reading on the subject of US nuclear strategy in Asia during the first two decades of the Cold War. That it is about, but not just about, the influence of race on that strategy is a testament to its author's fundamental honesty and apprehension of historical complexity.' Diplomatic HistoryReview of the hardback: 'Jones's study is an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship that explores the transnational connections between race and American foreign relations. Thoroughly researched, lucidly written, and judiciously argued, this exemplary book demonstrates the links between racial sensitivities and US national security policies during this perilous period of nuclear history.' Journal of Military HistoryReview of the hardback: '… an original and valuable study that adds a new dimension to our understanding of American strategy in Asia.' Marc Gallicchio, International AffairsReview of the hardback: 'Matthew Jones's superb After Hiroshima: The United States, Race, and Nuclear Weapons in Asia, 1945–1965 joins a number of important books that have underscored the significance of race as a factor in American foreign relations, especially in Asia. … After Hiroshima is an important book. It deepens our understanding of American national security policy during an important period and the ways that it interacted with the expectations and apprehensions of Asian nations.' Gary R. Hess, Bowling Green State UniversityReview of the hardback: 'Matthew Jones has given us in this book an excellent look at the self-deterring impact of the American use of the atom bomb at the end of World War II. It explores the frustrations and fantasies that came with possession of the bomb, and the ironic burden of having introduced a weapon that immediately became unusable. … [he] is to be congratulated for illuminating so much of the story of how we got into such a predicament.' Lloyd Gardner, Rutgers UniversityReview of the hardback: 'To say that the advent of nuclear weapons heightened global insecurity and the potential costs of Cold War conflict is a truism. But to argue, as Matthew Jones does so convincingly in After Hiroshima, that possession of a nuclear strike force often diminished, rather than increased, US foreign policy options in Asia is something important and new.' Martin Thomas, University of ExeterReview of the hardback: '… will certainly become required reading for those studying the Cold War. … [After Hiroshima is] a study that makes a crucial contribution not only to the history of the Cold War and nuclear policy, but also to the historiography of international relations and strategic studies.' Pierre Grosser, Sciences Po, ParisReview of the hardback: '… Matthew Jones has written an impressive study that both expands and enriches existing understanding of US postwar security policy in Asia.' James Matray, California State University, ChicoReview of the hardback: This massive analysis of the racial dimension of American nuclear policies is first-rate scholarship comparable to John W. Dower's seminal work, War without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War (1986).' Balázs Szalontai, East China Normal UniversityReview of the hardback: 'US policy toward Asia during the early Cold War has been a well-trodden scholarly ground, but as a result of Matthew Jones's impressive illumination, the familiar landscape takes on new colors.'
