Mark S. Bell argues that nuclear weapons are useful for more than deterrence. 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. Closely examining how these effects vary and what those variations have meant in the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, Bell shows that countries are not generically "emboldened"--they change their foreign policies in different ways based on their priorities. This has huge policy implications: What would Iran do if it were to acquire nuclear weapons? Would Japanese policy toward the United States change if Japan were to obtain 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 as important in international politics today as they ever were. -- Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This book examines the ways in which states change their foreign policies when they acquire nuclear weapons, using case studies of the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the United States"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Nuclear weapons $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a International relations. 650 0 $a World politics. 650 0 $a Balance of power. 650 7 $a Balance of power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00825684 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Nuclear weapons $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01040990 650 7 $a World politics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181381 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bell, Mark (Researcher) $t Nuclear reactions. $d Ithaca [New York] : Cornell University Press, 2021 $z 9781501754173 $w (DLC) 2020036417 830 0 $a Cornell studies in security affairs. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017023550.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010545.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11A694A4177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
