Description

Book Synopsis
As the costs of a preemptive foreign policy in Iraq have become clear, strategies such as containment and deterrence have been gaining currency among policy makers. This book offers an agenda for the contemporary practice of deterrence - especially as it applies to nuclear weapons - in an increasingly heterogeneous global and political setting.

Trade Review
"This book is a valuable antidote to some of the more glib and prematurely pessimistic statements that get circulated about 'the end of deterrence as we know it.' Quite comprehensive on the theories and modes of deterrence, it is valuable for drawing together both political scientists and policy makers." - George Quester, University of Maryland"
