Instead, they are leveraged to pursue a wide range of goals in international politics, and the nations that acquire them significantly change their foreign policies as a result. Bell closely examines how these effects vary and what those variations have meant, in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. Countries aren't generically "emboldened"-they change their foreign policies in different ways based on what their priorities are. This has huge policy implications: what would Iran do if it were to get nuclear weapons? Would Japanese policy toward the United States change if it were to acquire nuclear weapons? And what does the looming threat of nuclear weapons mean for the future of foreign policy? Far from being a relic of the Cold War, Bell argues, nuclear weapons are just as important in international politics today as they ever were. 606 $aBalance of power 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aNuclear weapons$xPolitical aspects 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International)$2bisacsh 610 $aNuclear weapons and foreign policy, nuclear opportunism, nuclear emboldenment, what are nuclear weapons useful for, benefits of nuclear weapons,. 615 0$aBalance of power. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aNuclear weapons$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International). 676 $a327.1/12 700 $aBell$b Mark S., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01214113 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418938303316 996 $aNuclear Reactions$92803878 997 $aUNISA
