These states have small nuclear arsenals, often face multiple active conflicts, and sometimes have weak institutions. How do these nuclear states-and potential future ones-manage their nuclear forces and influence international conflict? Examining the reasoning and deterrence consequences of regional power nuclear strategies, this book demonstrates that these strategies matter greatly to international stability and it provides new insights into conflict dynamics across important areas of the world such as the Middle East, East Asia, and South Asia. Vipin Narang identifies the diversity of regional power nuclear strategies and describes in detail the posture each regional power has adopted over time. Developing a theory for the sources of regional power nuclear strategies, he offers the first systematic explanation of why states choose the postures they do and under what conditions they might shift strategies. Narang then analyzes the effects of these choices on a state's ability to deter conflict. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, he shows that, contrary to a bedrock article of faith in the canon of nuclear deterrence, the acquisition of nuclear weapons does not produce a uniform deterrent effect against opponents. Rather, some postures deter conflict more successfully than others. Nuclear Strategy in the Modern Era considers the range of nuclear choices made by regional powers and the critical challenges they pose to modern international security. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in international history and politics. 606 $aNuclear weapons$xGovernment policy$vCase studies 606 $aNuclear warfare$xGovernment policy$vCase studies 606 $aDeterrence (Strategy)$vCase studies 606 $aSecurity, International$vCase studies 610 $aAvner Cohen. 610 $aChina. 610 $aCold War. 610 $aFrance. 610 $aIndia. 610 $aIsrael. 610 $aIsraeli officials. 610 $aPakistan. 610 $aPosture Optimization Theory. 610 $aSouth Africa. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aWestern assistance. 610 $aalliance options. 610 $aassured retaliation. 610 $aasymmetric escalation. 610 $aasymmetric nuclear posture. 610 $acatalytic nuclear posture. 610 $acivilian control. 610 $acivil?ilitary relations. 610 $acloset nuclear state. 610 $aconflict deterrence. 610 $aconflict dynamics. 610 $aconflict escalation. 610 $aconventional conflicts. 610 $aconventional threats. 610 $acrisis behavior. 610 $acrisis dynamics. 610 $acrisis settings. 610 $adeterrence outcomes. 610 $adeterrent power. 610 $adomestic political considerations. 610 $afuture nuclear powers. 610 $ageneral deterrent effects. 610 $ainternational conflict. 610 $ainternational relations. 610 $ainternational security. 610 $ainternational stability. 610 $alarge-n analysis. 610 $alimited deterrence. 610 $aminimum deterrence. 610 $anon-nuclear opponents. 610 $anuclear age. 610 $anuclear competition. 610 $anuclear deterrent. 610 $anuclear dynamics. 610 $anuclear opponents. 610 $anuclear postures. 610 $anuclear program. 610 $anuclear states. 610 $anuclear strategies. 610 $anuclear strategy. 610 $anuclear threat. 610 $anuclear weapons. 610 $aopen nuclear power. 610 $aoptimization theory. 610 $aparty?ilitary relations. 610 $apostwar France. 610 $aproliferation literature. 610 $aregional nuclear powers. 610 $aregional power. 610 $aregional powers. 610 $asecurity environment. 615 0$aNuclear weapons$xGovernment policy 615 0$aNuclear warfare$xGovernment policy 615 0$aDeterrence (Strategy) 615 0$aSecurity, International 676 $a355.02/17 686 $aPOL011000$aPOL001000$2bisacsh 700 $aNarang$b Vipin$01166329 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791046003321 996 $aNuclear strategy in the modern era$93804516 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04893nam 2200709 450 001 9910811329603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-118-85728-3 010 $a1-118-85737-2 035 $a(CKB)2550000001298090 035 $a(EBL)1687768 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001253374 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11709936 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001253374 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11293376 035 $a(PQKB)10863007 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1687768 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1687768 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10870261 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL608508 035 $a(OCoLC)879947306 035 $a(PPN)191455342 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001298090 100 $a20140927h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInformation and exponential families $ein statistical theory /$fO.

The roots of the book lie in the writings of RA Fisher both as concerns results and the general stance to statistical science, and this stance was the determining factor in the author's selection of topics. His treatise brings together results on aspects of statistical information, notably concerning likelihood functions, plausibility functions, ancillarity, and sufficiency, and on exponential families of probability distributions. 410 0$aWiley series in probability and statistics. 606 $aExponential families (Statistics) 606 $aSufficient statistics 606 $aDistribution (Probability theory) 606 $aExponential functions 615 0$aExponential families (Statistics) 615 0$aSufficient statistics. 615 0$aDistribution (Probability theory) 615 0$aExponential functions. 676 $a519.5 700 $aBarndorff-Nielsen$b O.$01724975 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811329603321 996 $aInformation and exponential families$94127493 997 $aUNINA
