Additional text

"Salma Shaheen uses a multifaceted framework to analyze existing nuclear weapons states with the goal of drawing conclusions for what steps countries can take to maximize stability of nuclear weapons on the global stage. Remarkably, the author has accomplished this thorough analysis in spite of the veil of secrecy and close hold on specific information on how countries conduct nuclear command and control. Shaheen’s framework provides a valuable tool to evaluate the relative stability of other nuclear powers, such as North Korea, or potential future emerging nuclear states."
