Nuclear Inertia: Us Nuclear Weapons Policy After the Cold War
ISBN: 9781850437659 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines why despite the Cold War having ended more than ten years ago, the U.S. still maintains an arsenal of over 10,000 nuclear warheads. The major explanatory factors are to be found not in the structure of the international system but in domestic politics. Tom Sauer ascribes the lack of change to bureaucratic resistance, dogmatic thinking and lack of political leadership. Clinton's first Secretary of Defense tried to change US nuclear weapons policy by initiating the 1993-1994 Nuclear Posture Review but was blocked by lower-level bureaucratic opposition. Sauer suggests that...

The Last Great Nuclear Debate: NATO and Short-Range Nuclear Weapons in the 1980s
ISBN: 9780333625385 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fundamental changes in international relations during 1989-90 toppled the pillars of the security policy paradigm which had characterised the Cold War. That convulsion swept aside the last of many nuclear debates to rend NATO. Immediately the nuclear problems which had plagued the 1980s were tossed aside. Yet many important and interesting elements of the decade's nuclear history had not been fully explained. With the nuclear issue's rapid shift to irrelevancy, previously hidden information on the period became at once less secret and more easily available. Thus through extensive interviews...
