US Presidents and Cold War Nuclear Diplomacy: The Evolving American Presidency

Autor Aiden Warren, Joseph M. Siracusa
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2022
This book will illustrate that despite the variations of nuclear tensions during the Cold War period—from nuclear inception, to mass proliferation, to arms control treaties and détente, through to an intensification and “reasonable” conclusion (the INF Treaty and START being case points)—the “lessons” over the last decade are quickly being unlearned. Given debates surrounding the emerging “new Cold War,” the deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States, and the concurrent challenges being made by key nuclear states in obfuscating arms control mechanisms, this book attempts to provide a much needed revisit into US presidential foreign policy during the Cold War. Across nine chapters, the monograph traces the United States’ nuclear diplomacy and Presidential strategic thought, transitioning across the early period of Cold War arms racing through to the era’s defining conclusion. It will reveal that notwithstanding the heightened periods when great power conflict seemed imminent,  arms control fora and seminal agreements were able to be devised, implemented, and provided a needed base in bringing down the specter of a cataclysmic nuclear war, as well as improving bilateral relations. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of American foreign policy, diplomatic history, security studies and international relations.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Given debates surrounding the emerging “new Cold War,” this book provides a much needed revisit into the US foreign policy nuclear domain during the 1945-1990 period. Across nine chapters, the monograph traces the United States’ nuclear diplomacy and Presidential strategic thought, transitioning across the early period of Cold War arms racing through to the era’s defining conclusion. It reveals that despite the heightened periods when great power conflict seemed imminent,  arms control fora and seminal agreements were able to be devised and implemented, providing a needed base in improving bilateral relations—as well as momentarily bringing down the specter of a cataclysmic nuclear war.
