| Note |
"The book, using an array of historical and contemporary examples, is divided into two parts to address each of these questions in turn. The first half identifies four general proliferation strategies, or pathways to the bomb, that are available to states - hedging, sprinting, sheltered pursuit, and hiding - and develops a theory for which strategy might be chosen by a given state at a given time. The second half explores the consequences of these strategies for proliferation and nonproliferation dynamics - which strategies might generally be expected to be more successful at achieving their objectives, or reversed, and the deterrence tradeoffs states face in their choice of strategy. As the international community confronts the next generation of potential proliferators such as Iran, North Korea, and those that may follow, identifying which strategy of nuclear proliferation each state is pursuing and its resulting consequences can help facilitate more effective nonproliferation approaches"- |
