Book Synopsis Dangerous Deterrent? Assessing the Risk that Nuclear Acquisition Will Embolden Weak States by : T. Negeen Pegahi
Book excerpt: This dissertation lays out the conditions under which acquiring nuclear weapons can "embolden" weak, dissatisfied states to do things they previously would not have done against stronger, nuclear-armed adversaries. It therefore specifies both the strategic benefits of acquisition to potential nuclear powers and the strategic risks/costs of further proliferation to existing nuclear powers.
