But nuclear weapons cooperation in US alliances has varied significantly between allies and over time. This book explores the history of America’s nuclear posture worldwide, delving into alliance structures and interaction during and since the end of the Cold War to uncover the underlying dynamics of nuclear weapons cooperation between the US and its allies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining in-depth empirical analysis with an accessible theoretical lens, the book reveals that US allies have wielded significant influence in shaping nuclear weapons cooperation with the US in ways that reflect their own, often idiosyncratic, objectives. Alliances are ecosystems of exchange rather than mere tools of external balancing, the book argues, and institutional perspectives can offer an unprecedented insight into how structured cooperation can promote policy convergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Long a footnote to US nuclear strategy, extended deterrence is rising in salience and urgency as the United States and its allies contend with a deteriorating security environment. This important new study combines historical research, political science, and policy analysis to generate valuable new insights into past and present practices in both Europe and Asia and thereby lays the foundation for future policy development.'\u003cbr\u003eBrad Roberts, Director of the Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, California\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'\u003ci\u003ePartners in deterrence \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fresh perspective on an enduring question: what motivates states to form nuclear alliances? As US alliances in Europe and Asia face growing nuclear threats, strategists would be well-served to understand what brings in security partners - and what helps them stay. This book makes a valuable contribution, blending classic theory with meticulous examination of well-selected case studies to explain contemporary nuclear alliances. By going beyond the traditional fixation on proximate security threats as the main driver of nuclear alliances, the book widens the aperture of contemporary debates, providing a valuable perspective for academics and policymakers alike.'\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Kroenig, Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Logic of American Nuclear Strategy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Realism, institutionalism, and nuclear weapons cooperation\u003cbr\u003e2 Nuclear sharing and mutual dependence: Germany and NATO nuclear weapons cooperation\u003cbr\u003e3 Local accommodation: Norway and nuclear weapons cooperation in NATO\u003cbr\u003e4 Security at arm’s length: US–Japan nuclear weapons cooperation\u003cbr\u003e5 Assurance and abandonment: Nuclear weapons in the US–South Korea alliance\u003cbr\u003e6 Informal bargaining: Nuclear weapons cooperation and the US–Australia alliance\u003cbr\u003e7 Understanding the drivers of nuclear weapons cooperation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51020018909527,"sku":"9781526150721","price":63.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526150721.jpg?v=1750782086","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/partners-in-deterrence-us-nuclear-weapons-and-alliances-in-europe-and-asia-9781526150721","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
