China's Nuclear Future provides a comprehensive overview of both the evolution of China's nuclear policy and the strategic implications of current developments. The authors examine a full range of issues, from China's rising economic fortunes to the impact of the U.S.-led war on terror. Their assessment of the drivers and constraints that are transforming China's nuclear posture is key to understanding not only the country's possible nuclear futures, but also the broader issue of its role in world politics UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626373013 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626373013 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626373013/original ER -
