Taming The Next Set Of Strategic Weapons Threats
ISBN: 9781312310353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Long discounted by arms control critics, traditional nonproliferation efforts now are undergoing urgent review and reconsideration even by their supporters. Why? In large part, because the current crop of nonproliferation understandings are ill-suited to check the spread of emerging long-range missile, biological, and nuclear technologies. Attempts to develop a legally binding inspections protocol to the Biological Weapons Convention, for example, were recently rejected by U.S. officials as being inadequate to catch serious violators while being prone to set off false alarms against perfectly...

A decade after coalition forces targetd Saddam's missile, nuclear, chemical and biological weapons capabilities, public concern about strategic weapons proliferation has grown. India, Iraq, North Korea, China and pakistan have all renewed their efforts to acquire weapons capable of mass destruction.

Getting Ready For A Nuclear-Ready Iran
ISBN: 9781312319431 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Little more than a year ago, the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) completed its initial analysis of Iran's nuclear program, Checking Iran's Nuclear Ambitions. Since then, Tehran's nuclear activities and public diplomacy have only affirmed what this analysis first suggested: Iran is not about to give up its effort to make nuclear fuel and, thereby, come within days of acquiring a nuclear bomb. Iran's continued pursuit of uranium enrichment and plutonium recycling puts a premium on asking what a more confident nuclear-ready Iran might confront us with and what we might do now to...

Getting Mad: Nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction, Its Origins And Practice
ISBN: 9781312329843 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nearly 40 years after the concept of finite deterrence was popularized by the Johnson administration, nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) thinking appears to be in decline. The United States has rejected the notion that threatening population centers with nuclear attacks is a legitimate way to assure deterrence. Most recently, it withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, an agreement based on MAD. American opposition to MAD also is reflected in the Bush administration's desire to develop smaller, more accurate nuclear weapons that would reduce the number of innocent civilians...

As the United States and Russia negotiate to bring their number of deployed nuclear weapons down, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel continue to bump their numbers up while a growing number of smaller states develop "peaceful" nuclear programs that will bring them closer to getting bombs if they choose.

Nuclear Power's Global Expansion: Weighing Its Costs and Risks
ISBN: 9781780395197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 664 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When security and arms control analysts list what has helped keep nuclear weapons technologies from spreading, energy economics is rarely, if ever, mentioned. Yet, large civilian nuclear energy programs can-and have-brought states quite a way towards developing nuclear weapons; and it has been market economics, more than any other force, that has kept most states from starting or completing these programs. Since the early 1950s, every major government in the Western Hemisphere, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe has been drawn to atomic powers allure, only to have market realities prevent most...

The monographs in this book were all commissioned as part of a year-long project sponsored by the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC), the U.S. Air Forces Institute for National Security Studies, and the U.S. Army War Colleges Strategic Studies Institute. They were written to help three working groups develop strategies to curb the threat posed by North Koreas strategic weapons programs.

Nuclear Weapons Security Crises: What Does History Teach? (Enlarged Edition)
ISBN: 9781304868978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At the height of the Cultural Revolution a Chinese long-range nuclear missile is fired within the country, and the nuclear warhead it is carrying detonates. A French nuclear device is exploded in Algeria during a coup there. The Soviet empire has collapsed, and shots are fired at a Russian crowd intent on rushing a nuclear weapons-laden plane straining to remove a stash of nuclear weapons to a safer locale. Pakistani civilian governments are routinely pushed aside by a powerful, nuclear-armed military that observers worry might yet itself fall prey to a faction willing to seize a portion of...

Best of Intentions: America's Campaign Against Strategic Weapons Proliferation
ISBN: 9780275972899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although the United States efforts to prevent the spread of strategic weapons have varied significantly since 1945, they all presumed to be avoiding one or another type of strategic war. To the extent their military scenarios were sound, so too were the nonproliferation remedies these initiatives promoted. But, as Sokolski demonstrates, the obverse was also true--when these intiatives' military hopes and fears were mistaken, their nonproliferation recommendations also missed their mark. What is the best hope for breaking out of this box and securing a higher rate of nonproliferation...

Nuclear Heuristics Selected Writings of Albert and Roberta Wohlstetter
ISBN: 9781780395173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 660 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Pioneers of nuclear-age policy analysis, Albert Wohlstetter (1913-1997) and Roberta Wohlstetter (1912-2007) emerged as two of Americas most consequential, innovative and controversial strategists. Through the clarity of their thinking, the rigor of their research, and the persistence of their personalities, they were able to shape the views and aid the decisions of Democratic and Republican policy makers both during and after the Cold War. Although the Wohlstetters strategic concepts and analytical methods continue to be highly influential, no book has brought together their most important...

Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future
ISBN: 9781329786158 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Henry Sokolski has written an excellent, short book about what he sees as our not so peaceful nuclear future. While short in length, it covers a lot of ground, and because it is extensively footnoted, it can lead readers to the broader literature. The book provides a good picture of the growing stockpiles of separated plutonium and the stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, as well as the likely expansion of nuclear power programs in additional countries. When reading the book, my thoughts turned to the Per Bak book, How Nature Works, and the concept of self-organized criticality and its...

Gauging U.S.-Indian Strategic Cooperation
ISBN: 9781312294356 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The following volume consists of research that the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center (NPEC) commissioned and vetted throughout 2006. For at least half of the chapters, authors presented versions of their work as testimony before Congressional oversight committees. Among them are some of the sharpest critics and staunchest boosters of U.S.-Indian nuclear and strategic cooperation. No matter what one's point of view, though, these chapters deserve close attention since all are focused on what is needed to assure U.S.-Indian strategic cooperation succeeds. The volume offers U.S. and...

Should We Let the Bomb Spread
ISBN: 9780986289538 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the 1950s, '60s and '70s, security experts worried about the spread of nuclear weapons. Now, after decades of academic analysis, some argue that nuclear weapons in more hands may be better. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump suggested the United States might be better off if Japan and South Korea got the bomb. All this raises the question: Should we let the bomb spread? The authors in this volume present a variety of views. Some favor letting America's allies get nuclear weapons; others say preventing proliferation is more dangerous than allowing it. Still others argue...
