This
book
addresses
the
under-researched
discourse
of
the
evolution
of
Chinese
nuclear
posture,
and
in
particular,
explains
the
absence
from
this
evolution
of
a
coherent
and
well-defined
operational
doctrine.
Using
a
neoclassical
realist
framework,
the
book
explains
why
China,
after
having
launched
a
crash
programme
in
the
mid-1950s
to
develop
a
nuclear
deterrent,
did
not
debate
a
clear
operational
doctrine
with
respect
to
targeting
and
employment
until
the
mid-1980s.
