Conclusions. 330 $aPaolo Rosa is Professor of Political Science at the School of International Studies of the University of Trento, Italy. He is an associate of the EU Non-proliferation Consortium. His main research interests include Foreign Policy Analysis, Italian Foreign and Military Behaviour, Chinese Politics, Strategic Culture, Quantitative Analysis of Conflicts, and Peace Research. This book addresses the under-researched discourse of the evolution of Chinese nuclear posture, and in particular, explains the absence from this evolution of a coherent and well-defined operational doctrine. Using a neoclassical realist framework, the book explains why China, after having launched a crash programme in the mid-1950s to develop a nuclear deterrent, did not debate a clear operational doctrine with respect to targeting and employment until the mid-1980s. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aPeace 606 $aAsia?Politics and government 606 $aInternational Relations Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912110 606 $aInternational Security Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912120 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912080 606 $aForeign Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912040 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aAsian Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aAsia?Politics and government. 615 14$aInternational Relations Theory. 615 24$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 676 $a327.101 700 $aRosa$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$039529 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300483303321 996 $aNeoclassical Realism and the Underdevelopment of China?s Nuclear Doctrine$91910205 997 $aUNINA
