Opis

This book argues that the nature of counterproliferation strengthens the effect of cultural factors in policy choices, and illustrates this by focusing on US and Israeli policy towards the Iranian nuclear program.

Recenzje

"BenLevi's book provides a valuable addition to the literature on decision-making, strategic culture, the impact of ideas on foreign policy, and to our understanding of divergent responses to the Iranian nuclear program. It is an important and original work, especially in explaining policy choices made by U.S. and Israeli leaders."

Robert J. Lieber, Professor Emeritus of Government and International Affairs, Georgetown University, USA 

"BenLevi has provided a well-researched and in-depth analysis of the interests and considerations that informed the key debates within Israel and the United States regarding one of their greatest mutual national security threats. A must-read for policymakers and scholars alike!"

Meir Ben-Shabbat, Israel's National Security Advisor from  2017 to 2021 and currently head of the Misgav Institute for Zionist Strategy & National Security in Jerusalem
