Summary |
The immense destructive power of nuclear weapons continues to shape the international strategic balance, not least Australia's place as a close ally of the United States in an increasingly risky Indo-Pacific region. What is the continuing utility to America's allies of extended nuclear deterrence? Where is the risk of nuclear proliferation greatest? How should the world deal with the growing nuclear capabilities of North Korea? Is the nuclear order as sturdy and stable and it needs to be? These and other pressing issues are addressed in this volume by one of Australia's leading thinkers on nuclear weapons and the global strategic balance, Rod Lyon. The 36 pithy articles in this volume offer Rod Lyon's distilled wisdom on critical nuclear issues, which are increasingly occupying the minds of Australia's best policy and intelligence thinkers |
