SUMMARY

With many scholars and analysts questioning the relevance of deterrence as a valid strategic concept, this volume moves beyond Cold War nuclear deterrence to show the many ways in which deterrence is applicable to contemporary security.

It also examines the role of nuclear deterrence in the twenty-first century and reaches surprising conclusions. -- From back cover
