Deterrence under Stalemate: Conventional War and Nuclear Escalation --Conclusion: Solving the Nuclear Puzzle --Notes --IndexLeading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying? This text tackles the central puzzle of the nuclear age: the persistence of intense geopolitical competition in the shadow of nuclear weapons.Cornell studies in security affairs.Cornell scholarship online.Nuclear weaponsPolitical aspectsDeterrence (Strategy)Arms raceBalance of powerWorld politicsnuclear weapons, nuclear detterance, nuclear strategy, nuclear revolution, International security, kenneth Waltz, Robert Jervis.Nuclear weaponsPolitical aspects.Deterrence (Strategy)Arms race.Balance of power.World politics.327.174Lieber Keir A(Keir Alexander),1970-1123254Press Daryl GraysonStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554280803321The myth of the nuclear revolution2815967UNINA
