"Interesting book that spawned some of my doctoral research.
One question: In this book, Waltz assumes that security is abundant (e.g. that countries will be satisfied with the existential deterrent provided by nuclear weapons). This claim directly contradicts his assertion in Theory of International Politics that anarchy in the intl. system makes security scarce (and hence creates the impetus for states to seek security, the driver of events in his theory). So which is it?"
"I know it's nerdy to list this hear, but this is the clearest, easiest-to-read argument over nucs. Both the pro and con sides are well-argued; it helped me understand why people might be for a nuclear weapon world... Though, ultimately, it didn't change my mind."
"Love this book! Provides both sides of the debate on nuclear proliferation. Waltz helps provide a foundation for anyone arguing for horizontal proliferation"
"A brilliant classic on foreign policy suggestions for an increasingly nuclear world. The world will probably have more countries achieve nuclear technology, already 60 years old, around the same age as your microwave.
