Arms Control for the Third Nuclear Age: Between Disarmament and Armageddon (Paperback)
In Arms Control for the Third Nuclear Age, David A. Cooper offers a reappraisal of classic arms control theory that advocates for reprioritizing deterrence over disarmament. In this very different era of great power rivalry, this hard-nosed approach will be a must-read for scholars, students, and practitioners of nuclear arms control.
David A. Cooper is the James V. Forrestal Professor of National Security Affairs at the US Naval War College. He previously served as director of the Office of Nonproliferation Policy and as director of the Office of Strategic Arms Control Policy at the US Department of Defense. He is the author of Competing Western Strategies Against the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction.
