Nuclear Logics

Discover the compelling insights of Nuclear Logics by Etel Solingen, published in 2007. This thought-provoking book delves into the complex reasons behind why certain states pursue nuclear weapons while others choose to abandon them. Through a meticulous examination of nine case studies in East Asia and the Middle East, Solingen identifies two distinct regional patterns: East Asia has largely embraced a norm of nuclear abstention since the late 1960s, while the Middle East exhibits a contrasting trend of nuclear acquisition. With 424 pages of in-depth analysis, Nuclear Logics is essential for anyone interested in international relations, arms control, and the dynamics of nuclear nonproliferation.
