Each strategy of proliferation provides different opportunities for the development of nuclear weapons, while at the same time presenting distinct vulnerabilities that can be exploited to prevent states from doing so. Narang delves into the crucial implications these strategies have for nuclear proliferation and international security. Hiders, for example, are especially disruptive since either they successfully attain nuclear weapons, irrevocably altering the global power structure, or they are discovered, potentially triggering serious crises or war, as external powers try to halt or reverse a previously clandestine nuclear weapons programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the international community confronts the next generation of potential nuclear proliferators, \u003cem\u003eSeeking the Bomb\u003c\/em\u003e explores how global conflict and stability are shaped by the ruthlessly pragmatic ways states choose strategies of proliferation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849955430636,"sku":"9780691172620","price":98.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1713343482434.jpg?v=1759066816"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/vipin-narang.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
