Nuclear Weapons And Coercive Diplomacy by Todd S Sechser
The Limits of Threats in International Politics
This insightful analysis challenges the conventional wisdom that nuclear weapons are effective tools for coercive diplomacy. By examining historical case studies and empirical data, the book argues that nuclear arsenals do not significantly enhance a state's ability to compel adversaries to change their behavior. Instead, it suggests that the threat of nuclear retaliation is more effective as a deterrent rather than a means of coercion. The work provides a nuanced perspective on the strategic utility of nuclear weapons, emphasizing the limitations and risks associated with their use in diplomatic negotiations.
