Michael D. Cohen

When Proliferation Causes Peace (eBook, ePUB)

The Psychology of Nuclear Crises

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Does state acquisition of nuclear weapons lead to stability and peace or instability and crises? Michael D. Cohen argues that nuclear weapons acquisition often does dangerously embolden the acquiring state to undertake coercion and aggression, but that this behavior moderates over time as leaders learn the dangers and limitations of nuclear coercion. This book examines the historical cases of the Soviet Union and Pakistan in depth and also looks at mini-cases involving the United States, China, and India. This book broadens our understanding of how leaders and states behave when they acquire nuclear weapons and is important reading for scholars and students of international relations, security studies, and political psychology.
