Long Shadow - Nuclear Weapons and Security in 21st Century Asia

Zusatztext "Alagappa's edited volume is a veritable tour de force of this complex subject-the long shadow cast by the nuclear weapon-and how it is perceived in the national security strategy of individual states in the extended Asian context. It is instructive that the study includes both the U.S. and Russia-the latter being the inheritor of the Soviet nuclear mantle-as part of the Asian nuclear matrix."
