Kompletní popis

This work provides a framework for organizing and evaluating research on superpower rivalry and nuclear deterrence. Arguing that previous critiques of rational choice and deterrence theory are not convincing, Frank Harvey constructs a set of empirical tests of rational deterrence theory to illuminate patterns of interaction between rival nuclear powers. He analyzes the crisis management techniques used by the United States and the Soviet Union in 28 post-war crises and isolates factors that promote or inhibit escalation of these crises. This data set serves as the basis for identifying patterns of response when one nuclear state is threatened by another. The book offers new directions for testing that emphasize a more unified approach to theory building and assesses the feasibility of alternative courses of action to prevent escalation of future disputes characterized by nuclear rivalry.
