  • Beyond Emboldenment Beyond Mark S
    Beyond Emboldenment Beyond Mark S. Bell Emboldenment How Acquiring Nuclear Weapons Can Change Foreign Policy What happens to the foreign policies of states when they acquire nuclear weapons? This question has grown in importance as new nuclear powers have emerged and other states have moved closer to joining the nuclear club. Indeed, determining the costs that the United States and others should be prepared to pay to prevent nuclear proliferation hinges on assessing how nuclear weapons affect the be- havior of the states that acquire them and how dangerous those effects are. If states expand their interests in world politics or act more aggressively in the aftermath of nuclear acquisition, preventing nuclear proliferation should be a higher priority than if nuclear weapons do not signiªcantly affect the for- eign policies of the states that acquire them. Crafting deterrence strategies for new nuclear states also requires understanding the foreign policy effects that nuclear weapons are likely to have in a given case.1 Despite its importance, the question of how nuclear weapons affect the for- eign policies of the states that acquire them has not been satisfactorily an- swered. The literature on nuclear weapons has generally examined the effects of nuclear weapons on outcomes other than foreign policy; has focused on the effects of nuclear weapons on the calculations of other states rather than the acquiring state; and has often sought to explore how states with nuclear weapons should behave rather than how they do behave. The literature that has examined the effects of nuclear weapons on foreign policy has tended to conºate effects of nuclear weapons under catch-all terms such as “em- boldenment” while ignoring other potential effects of nuclear acquisition.

  • Why Nuclear Energy Programs Rarely Lead to Proliferation
    Nuclear Energy Programs and Proliferation Why Nuclear Energy Nicholas L. Miller Programs Rarely Lead to Proliferation As long as there have been nuclear weapons, policymakers and analysts have worried that the spread of nuclear reactors for energy production would lead to the diffusion of nuclear arms.1 According to one analyst, “It was obvious from the beginning of the nuclear age that nuclear energy for power and nuclear energy for bombs overlapped.”2 Indeed, the 1946 Acheson-Lilienthal report, which examined the possibility of international control of nuclear technology, determined that “the industry required and the technology developed for the realization of atomic weapons are the same industry and same technology which play so es- sential a part in man’s almost universal striving to improve his standard of liv- ing and his control of nature.”3 Writing in the 1970s, Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner Victor Gilinsky warned that nuclear energy programs offer “the quickest, cheapest, and least risky route to nuclear weapons.”4 More recently, José Goldemberg argued that there is a “fundamental contradiction between efforts to avoid the proliferation of nuclear weapons and enthusiasm for the spread, for commercial reasons, of nuclear reactors to many developing coun- tries.”5 Today, some analysts worry that the upsurge in interest in nuclear energy in the Middle East is a prelude to a nuclear arms race.6 Nicholas L. Miller is Assistant Professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College.
