What do present changes in the global security picture portend for this class of weapons? The author evaluates possibilities using a matrix of considerations: trends in the international system: strategic ways, means, and perceptions: intrinsic capabilities of new generations of nuclear weapons: and operative views of extended nuclear deterrence. One conclusion is that, owing to the desirability of having a graduated means of deterring conflict and controlling escalation, theater nuclear weapons may remain important elements of US military capability in the global environment of the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioscholar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46862872117399,"sku":"9781249829829","price":5089.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781249829829.webp?v=1769967919","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/theater-nuclear-forces-and-extended-deterrence-in-a-multipolar-world-9781249829829","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
