  • Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited
    Never Say Never Again Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited A serious gap exists in scholarly understanding of nuclear proliferation. The gap derives from inade- quate attention to the phenomena of nuclear reversal and nuclear restraint as well as insufªcient awareness of the biases and limitations inherent in the em- pirical data employed to study proliferation. This article identiªes “nuclear hedging” as a national strategy lying between nuclear pursuit and nuclear roll- back. An understanding of this strategy can help scholars to explain the nu- clear behavior of many states; it can also help to explain why the nightmare proliferation scenarios of the 1960s have not materialized. These insights, in turn, cast new light on several prominent proliferation case studies and the unique role of the United States in combating global proliferation. They have profound implications for engaging current or latent nuclear proliferants, underscoring the centrality of buying time as the key component of a non- proliferation strategy. The article begins with a brief review of contemporary nuclear proliferation concerns. It then takes stock of the surprisingly large documented universe of nuclear reversal cases and the relevant literature.1 It proceeds to examine the empirical challenges that bedeviled many of the earlier studies, possibly skew- ing their theoretical findings. Next, it discusses the features of the nuclear reversal and restraint phenomena and the forces that inºuence them. In this context, it introduces and illustrates an alternative explanation for the nu- clear behavior of many states based on the notion of nuclear hedging. It draws on this notion and other inputs to reassess the role that the United States At the time this article was written, Ariel E.

  • When Are Arms Races Dangerous? When Are Arms Races Charles L
    When Are Arms Races Dangerous? When Are Arms Races Charles L. Glaser Dangerous? Rational versus Suboptimal Arming Are arms races dan- gerous? This basic international relations question has received extensive at- tention.1 A large quantitative empirical literature addresses the consequences of arms races by focusing on whether they correlate with war, but remains divided on the answer.2 The theoretical literature falls into opposing camps: (1) arms races are driven by the security dilemma, are explained by the rational spiral model, and decrease security, or (2) arms races are driven by revisionist adversaries, explained by the deterrence model, and increase security.3 These Charles L. Glaser is a Professor in the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the Uni- versity of Chicago. For their helpful comments on earlier drafts of this article, the author would like to thank James Fearon, Michael Freeman, Lloyd Gruber, Chaim Kaufmann, John Schuessler, Stephen Walt, the anonymous reviewers for International Security, and participants in seminars at the Program on In- ternational Security Policy at the University of Chicago, the Program on International Political Economy and Security at the University of Chicago, the John M. Olin Institute at Harvard Univer- sity, and the Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia. He also thanks John Schuessler for valuable research assistance. 1. The pioneering study is Samuel P.

  • International Security at Twenty-ªve the Modern ªeld of International Security Studies Is Roughly Half a Century Old
    International Security at Steven E. Miller Twenty-ªve From One World to Another International Security at Twenty-ªve The modern ªeld of international security studies is roughly half a century old. It emerged after World War II and took hold in the 1950s.1 The journal International Security has spanned half that period, having now completed twenty-ªve years of publica- tion. During that time, the world and the ªeld have changed dramatically. We are not in the habit of utilizing the pages of this journal for introspective or self-referential ruminations, but it seems appropriate to mark the passage of a quarter-century with some reºections on the history of the journal, the evolu- tion of the ªeld within which it operates, and the altered world that the ªeld seeks to understand, explain, and perhaps even inºuence. Here, the aim is sim- ply to sketch suggestive snapshots of then and now, in the hope of conveying the magnitude and character of the changes that a quarter of a century has wrought. This exercise provides the opportunity to revisit some of the issues and articles that have justiªed and animated the pages of International Security over its ªrst twenty-ªve years.2 The Origins and Conception of International Security Nearly thirty years ago, then-President of the Ford Foundation McGeorge Bundy launched a major initiative to promote university-based research and Steven E. Miller is Editor-in-Chief of International Security and Director of the International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F.
