Asia, the Us and Extended Nuclear Deterrence - Atomic Umbrellas in the Twenty-First Century

Zusatztext 'As China rises and America responds, questions of nuclear strategy will become increasingly central to their relationship, and the risks of nuclear rivalry and confrontation will grow. Andrew O'Neil's outstanding book provides vital insights into the central, and potentially very dangerous, role that nuclear weapons will play in shaping Asia's strategic future. It is lucid, authoritative, and very important to anyone trying to understanding where Asia is heading.' – Hugh White, Professor of Strategic Studies, Australian National University Informationen zum Autor Andrew O’Neil is the Director of the Griffith Asia Institute and a Professor in the School of Government and International Relations at Griffith University. Before entering academia in 2000, he was a strategic analyst with Australia’s Intelligence Community.

Zusammenfassung Provides the first detailed analysis of the way in which extended nuclear deterrence operates in contemporary Asia.
