Deterrence, blackmail, friendly persuasion / Edward Ifft - 2007

Considers the concept of deterrence (which has its roots in the Latin verb deterrere meaning to frighten) with particular reference to nuclear weapons. Looks at such matters as who can have nuclear weapons, the risks posed by rogue states, minimising the risk, and the possibility of developing some form of collective deterrence.
