Description
Atomic Assistance: How "Atoms for Peace" Programs Cause Nuclear Insecurity
Nuclear technology has dual use in nature, meaning it can be used to produce energy or build nuclear weapons. Despite security concerns about proliferation, countries have shared nuclear technology with other nations for peaceful purposes.
In this book, Matthew Fuhrmann argues that governments use peaceful nuclear assistance as a tool of economic statecraft. He examines cases where countries provided nuclear aid and explores why states began or failed to pursue nuclear weapons programs.
