ISBN: 9780198294092 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The focus is two-fold: first, what outcome do those imposing, and those receiving, these incentives expect, especially on dual-technology and security issues? Second, what are the essential elements needed to enhance incentive-based cooperation?

Nuclear Weapons and Arms Control in South Asia After the Test Ban
ISBN: 9780198294115 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Building on an analysis of their internal politics and attitudes to nuclear policies, it concludes that certain apparently defensive systems, particularly counter-air systems, have considerable implications for the retention of nuclear capabilities in the region.
