Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely introduction to the study of international relations places special emphasis on the politics of international economics and the nuclear threat. Written for beginning students, the book combines comprehensive and realistic introductory material basic to the study of international relations with in-depth case studies of major issues and problem areas such as • management of the world economy and management of world military power, • East-West and North-South (rich nation vs. poor nation) conflicts, and • the struggle for resources and ways and means of preventing World War III. Readers untrained in economics will find the subject matter introduced before it is discussed in its applied form. Henry L. Bretton has published widely on Western and non-Western government, politics, and international relations. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Political Science at the State University of New York College at Brockport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than forty years, the United States has maintained a public commitment to nuclear disarmament, and every president from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama has gradually reduced the size of America's nuclear forces. Yet even now, over two decades after the end of the Cold War, the United States maintains a huge nuclear arsenal on high alert and ready for war. The Americans, like the Russians, the Chinese, and other major nuclear powers, continue to retain a deep faith in the political and military value of nuclear force, and this belief remains enshrined at the center of U.S. defense policy regardless of the radical changes that have taken place in international politics. In No Use, national security scholar Thomas M. Nichols offers a lucid, accessible reexamination of the role of nuclear weapons and their prominence in U.S. security strategy. Nichols explains why strategies built for the Cold War have survived into the twenty-first century, and he illustrates how America's nearly unshakable belief in the utility of nuclear arms has hindered U.S. and international attempts to slow the nuclear programs of volatile regimes in North Korea and Iran. From a solid historical foundation, Nichols makes the compelling argument that to end the danger of worldwide nuclear holocaust, the United States must take the lead in abandoning unrealistic threats of nuclear force and then create a new and more stable approach to deterrence for the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: A leading international security strategist offers a compelling new way to "think about the unthinkable." The cold war ended more than two decades ago, and with its end came a reduction in the threat of nuclear weapons—a luxury that we can no longer indulge. It's not just the threat of Iran getting the bomb or North Korea doing something rash; the whole complexion of global power politics is changing because of the reemergence of nuclear weapons as a vital element of statecraft and power politics. In short, we have entered the second nuclear age. In this provocative and agenda-setting book, Paul Bracken of Yale University argues that we need to pay renewed attention to nuclear weapons and how their presence will transform the way crises develop and escalate. He draws on his years of experience analyzing defense strategy to make the case that the United States needs to start thinking seriously about these issues once again, especially as new countries acquire nuclear capabilities. He walks us through war-game scenarios that are all too realistic, to show how nuclear weapons are changing the calculus of power politics, and he offers an incisive tour of the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia to underscore how the United States must not allow itself to be unprepared for managing such crises. Frank in its tone and farsighted in its analysis, The Second Nuclear Age is the essential guide to the new rules of international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a critical juncture in world politics. Nuclear strategy and policy have risen to the top of the global policy agenda, and issues ranging from a nuclear Iran to the global zero movement are generating sharp debate. The historical origins of our contemporary nuclear world are deeply consequential for contemporary policy, but it is crucial that decisions are made on the basis of fact rather than myth and misapprehension. In Nuclear Statecraft, Francis J. Gavin challenges key elements of the widely accepted narrative about the history of the atomic age and the consequences of the nuclear revolution.On the basis of recently declassified documents, Gavin reassesses the strategy of flexible response, the influence of nuclear weapons during the Berlin Crisis, the origins of and motivations for U.S. nuclear nonproliferation policy, and how to assess the nuclear dangers we face today. In case after case, he finds that we know far less than we think we do about our nuclear history. Archival evidence makes it clear that decision makers were more concerned about underlying geopolitical questions than about the strategic dynamic between two nuclear superpowers.Gavin's rigorous historical work not only tells us what happened in the past but also offers a powerful tool to explain how nuclear weapons influence international relations. Nuclear Statecraft provides a solid foundation for future policymaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy is a landmark work that offers a groundbreaking analysis of one of the most pressing issues of our time. Written by Henry Kissinger, one of the foremost experts on foreign policy, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the role of nuclear weapons in shaping international relations. First published in 1957, this book remains as relevant today as it was when it was first written. In it, Kissinger offers a clear-eyed and insightful analysis of the strategic calculations and geopolitical realities that have driven the development and deployment of nuclear weapons. Drawing on his extensive experience as a scholar and policymaker, Kissinger provides a detailed examination of the ways in which nuclear weapons have influenced the behaviour of states and shaped the course of world events. He explores the complex relationships between nuclear powers, the dangers of nuclear proliferation, and the potential for nuclear war. Throughout this book, Kissinger argues that a deeper understanding of the strategic dynamics of nuclear weapons is essential to the development of effective foreign policy. He contends that a careful consideration of the risks and benefits of nuclear weapons is essential for policymakers to make informed decisions that promote peace and security. With its seminal analysis and penetrating insights, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of nuclear weapons and international relations. It is a valuable resource for scholars, students, policymakers, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this critical issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is a brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing.”—Gordon A. Craig, New York Times Book Review Originally published more than fifty years ago, this landmark book explores the ways in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Anne-Marie Slaughter’s new introduction to the work shows how Schelling’s framework—conceived of in a time of superpowers and mutually assured destruction—still applies to our multipolar world, where wars are fought as much online as on the ground.

This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that there exist weapons capable of destroying humanity, our nation’s survival depends on our ability to find answers to two questions: What challenges should be resisted by force? How can they be resisted without brining disaster to our society? We must find a strategy which can support our diplomacy without being forced to risk our national substance on every issue. Otherwise we will increasingly face the grim alternative of total annihilation or total surrender. This book shows how our military strength can support our political objectives without excessive risk of all-out war. It discusses the diplomacy and the strategy necessary to deter aggression and to defeat it should it come. It makes clear that we require weapons as varied as the dangers confronting us. War can be avoided only by being ready for it. Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, though entirely Dr. Kissinger’s own book, grew out of his work over a period of eighteen months with a group of experts organized by the Council on Foreign Relations and led by Mr. Gordon Dean, former Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. It deals primarily with the revolution produced by the development of nuclear weapons, and the effect which this revolution should have on our military strategy and foreign policy. Dr. Kissinger indicates that in all significant wars of the future, nuclear weapons are likely to be employed, but he shows that if proper doctrine is followed, the consequences need not be disastrous to our survival, as is often supposed. He then examines the implications of his new strategy for our relations with our allies and with the uncommitted countries of the world. And he analyzes the nature of the Soviet challenge in terms of ideology, diplomacy, and military policy. This book is of vital importance and certain to inspire serious thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying? In The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution, Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press tackle the central puzzle of the nuclear age: the persistence of intense geopolitical competition in the shadow of nuclear weapons. They explain why the Cold War superpowers raced so feverishly against each other; why the creation of "mutual assured destruction" does not ensure peace; and why the rapid technological changes of the 21st century will weaken deterrence in critical hotspots around the world. By explaining how the nuclear revolution falls short, Lieber and Press discover answers to the most pressing questions about deterrence in the coming decades: how much capability is required for a reliable nuclear deterrent, how conventional conflicts may become nuclear wars, and how great care is required now to prevent new technology from ushering in an age of nuclear instability.
