The Cold War and After: Prospects for Peace

International Security Reader

By Sean M. Lynn-Jones, Editor, International Security; Series Editor, Belfer Center Studies in International Security

This timely collection of articles from the journal International Security focuses on the future of Europe; however, the analysis can be applied to any continent. The first four essays look at the sources of the post-1945 peace and consider whether the threat of nuclear weapons or other factors have acted as a deterrent to war. The next three essays debate whether the new Europe will see war or peace and offer different prescriptions for preventing a return to chaos.

"Preface to Going Nuclear"

Book Chapter

By Sean M. Lynn-Jones, Editor, International Security; Series Editor, Belfer Center Studies in International Security

"Concern over nuclear proliferation is likely to increase in the coming years. Many observers believe that the spread of nuclear weapons to one or two more states will trigger a wave of new nuclear states. More states may turn to nuclear power to meet their energy needs as other sources of energy become more costly or undesirable because they emit carbon that contributes to global climate change. As more nuclear reactors are built, the world's stock of nuclear expertise and fissionable materials is likely to grow."
