Nuclear Politics de Maria Rost Rublee

Nuclear Politics: SAGE Library of International Relations

Editat de Maria Rost Rublee, Ramesh Thakur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 feb 2014
While the Cold War ended more than two decades ago and global nuclear stockpiles have shrunk dramatically, there are still around 18,000 nuclear warheads distributed among nine nuclear armed states. Against the backdrop of continual political tensions and conflict, the nuclear issue will continue to dominate headlines for several decades into the future.

This new four-volume Major Work explores this important issue and aims to introduce readers to the key arguments and authors in the field. With such a wide variety of theoretical approaches and substantive topics under the umbrella of nuclear politics, this collection will not only allow the reader to peruse the diverse explanations for the regime, proliferation, nonproliferation and disarmament, it will also guide them through the intellectual history of the field.

Recenzii

An estimated 18,000 nuclear warheads exist in the arsenals of nine nuclear weapon armed countries - more than 5,000 of them deployed and nearly 2,000 on a state of alert ready to be launched in minutes. This frightening scenario of the actual potential for the use of the most destructive weapon of mass destruction invented by humankind with its long-term genetic and ecological impact demands that we examine the rationale for these weapons. The availability of a reader with some of the best intellectual work on the subject in this 4 volume publication edited by Professors Maria Rost Rublee and Ramesh Thakur is a an outstanding service to students and the general public as we move towards the elimination of nuclear weapons.

The Cold War created an appropriate acronym to describe nuclear insanity: MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). What is truly mad now is that this nuclear insanity continues when the Cold War rationale for it has disappeared. If we want to move beyond MAD and Cold-War nuclear thinking, a comprehensive understanding of nuclear politics is critical. This four-volume reference work not only provides that broad overview, but also notably includes literature on disarmament and alternative voices on  nuclear issues
