The chapters of this book explore Russia’s military and political motives behind its reliance on nuclear weapons for its security. As such, the book constitutes an important contribution to the analysis of the Obama administration’s reset policy, Russo-American relations, Russian foreign and defense policy, and international security in both Europe and Asia. Additionally, questions concerning the approach taken by other nuclear powers in reference to the arms control agenda provide a crucial backdrop for the progress toward curbing the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
