Description
Whether and by what means nations can successfully de-escalate nuclear crises and avoid the disastrous effects of nuclear war will remain two of the most critical challenges facing humankind. Although superpower relations have improved greatly, the United States, the Soviet Union and other nations will undoubtedly continue to possess and to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Morever, the number of nations with nuclear weapons seems likely to increase. This book examines how nations in crises might successfully move back from the brink of nuclear war and how confidence-building measures might help and hinder the de-escalatory process.
