Nuclear Predicament Nuclear Weapons in the Twenty-First Century

Ideal for use in all Nuclear Issues, American Foreign Policy, International Relations, Global Issues, and Contemporary History courses at the undergraduate level. Thoroughly revised to reflect the changes that the end of the cold war has brought to nuclear issues and to examine our new nuclear future, this interdisciplinary text shows how nuclear weapons have changed the worldmilitarily, politically, socially, and ethically. Seeking to shake readers out of their nuclear complacency, it fully examines the evolving nuclear predicament (that nuclear weapons can be massively destructive, yet we are moving into a period when nuclear weapons are more likely to be used) and considers particular strategies to cope with and shape the nuclear future.Beckman, Peter R. is the author of 'Nuclear Predicament Nuclear Weapons in the Twenty-First Century', published 1999 under ISBN 9780136806387 and ISBN 0136806384.
