The first comprehensive examination of the many tactics used by states to pursue nuclear weapons Why states pursue nuclear weapons has been a major topic of research on nuclear proliferation. There hasn't been much discussion of how states pursue nuclear weapons. The first book to explore this subject is Seeking the Bomb, which looks at the many nuclear proliferation methods that are accessible to aspirants, why aspirants choose one technique over another, and how this affects global politics. Vipin Narang creates an unusual typology of proliferation strategies?hedging, sprinting, shielded pursuit, and hiding?by examining a wide range of countries, including India and Japan, the Soviet Union, North Korea, Iraq, and Iran. While exposing unique weaknesses that can be used to deter states from developing nuclear weapons, each proliferation strategy offers various chances for doing so. Narang explores the significant effects that these techniques have on nuclear proliferation and global security. For instance, nuclear weapons "hidders" are particularly disruptive because they either acquire nuclear weapons successfully, permanently altering the global power structure, or they are discovered, potentially sparking major crises or war as outside powers attempt to halt or reverse a previously covert nuclear weapons programme. As the international community confronts the next generation of potential nuclear proliferators, Seeking the Bomb explores how global conflict and stability are shaped by the ruthlessly pragmatic ways states choose strategies of proliferation.
