Professor Beres considers the factors that might foster such terrorism, the forms it might take, and the probable consequences of each form. He then identifies a coherent strategy of counternuclear terrorism, one that embraces both technological and behavioral measures, that suggests policies for deterrence and situation management on both national and international levels, and that points toward a major refashioning of world order. 410 0$aWestview special studies in national and international terrorism. 606 $aTerrorism 606 $aNuclear terrorism 615 0$aTerrorism. 615 0$aNuclear terrorism. 676 $a301.633 676 $a363.325 700 $aBeres$b Louis Rene?$0675819 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823995903321 996 $aTerrorism and global security$94062627 997 $aUNINA
