In 'All Options on the Table', Rachel Elizabeth Whitlark looks beyond systemic and slow-moving factors such as the distribution of power. Instead, she highlights individual leaders' beliefs to explain when preventive military force is the preferred strategy. Executive perspective - not institutional structure - is paramount. Whitlark makes her argument through archivally based comparative case studies. She focuses on executive decision making regarding nuclear programs in China, North Korea, Iraq, Pakistan and Syria.Cornell studies in security affairs.Cornell scholarship online.Deterrence (Strategy)Preemptive attack (Military science)Case studiesNuclear arms controlInternational relationsHistory20th centuryInternational relationsHistory21st centuryExecutive powerHeads of statePsychologyDeterrence (Strategy)Preemptive attack (Military science)Nuclear arms control.International relationsHistoryInternational relationsHistoryExecutive power.Heads of statePsychology.355.02Whitlark Rachel Elizabeth1218349StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554498103321All Options on the Table2817465UNINA
