Civil military relations and nuclear weapons - Stanford, Calif., USA: Stanford University, 1994 - 164p.

Examines the effect of possession of nuclear weapons on civil military relations. Are nuclear powers less or more aggresive; are civilian leaders more war prone than military officers or is the reverse true ? How dangerous will it be if stable powers acquire nuclear weapons in the future. This collection of papers looks at the experience of nuclear powers and the importance of good civil military relations.
