Eliminating nuclear weapons remain even more urgent since the end of the  Cold War and its potential threat to world peace is more dangerous than ever.  As  one looks around the world and at potential conflict scenarios, nuclear weapons use  are alas being considered in a number of situations. Asia remains particularly  vulnerable.  Growing nuclear arsenals, possibly unsecured fissile material, weak  government control, combined with religious extremism, unresolved borders and  competition for oceanic resources; all go to form a deadly mix. Addressing these  issues remain a major concern. Issues of nuclear weapons safety and security must  remain high on the international security agenda.  Of the dangers, none is greater than the threat of some kind of nuclear attack. Both India and Pakistan possess large nuclear arsenals. And both aim them at the other. While the possibility of all-out Armageddon can therefore never be ignored, these massive armories represent an even greater, more imminent peril: that terrorists will somehow take control of a warhead or nuclear materials to launch a catastrophic attack. According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a nuclear nonproliferation watchdog, both countries score poorly on their Nuclear Security Index, which assesses the security of nuclear materials around the world. China continues with its nuclear and missile expansion – currently the largest of any country – even as it refuses to halt covert nuclear and missile transfers to Pakistan or stop its missile dealings with Iran. Statesponsored proliferation is being practiced as a strategic trump card. Having decided to go overtly nuclear only in 1998, India is presently working to militarily integrate its nuclear weapons and develop new intermediate-range delivery systems. As the book addresses this crucial issue quite deftly, it is hoped that it would prove to be a source of great information for the reader. It an essential reading for the students taking courses on this book.

  • 2026 统一台湾:冲击,影响,和风险
    叶其泉
    美国及联盟事实上无法阻止,延迟,或逆转中国的统一台湾的行动。在2026年启动这一行动,对中国是妥当的时机。美国联盟也不能不对中国的行动作出反应。不对此做出反应就是政治自杀。错误的应对方案同样也带来自杀结果的结果。美国的应对方案理论上有事前方案和事后方案两个组共6种工具包。包括事前和谈方案,事前阻遏方案;事后全面政治制裁;全面政治制裁加经济制裁;政治制裁加靖绥军事方案,和全面整体战争方案。总体上很难看到美国能从应对中国的行动中获益,美国(联盟)选择它的应对方案的出发点就是止损。阻止中国快速地扩张政治收益,地缘收益,和经济收益。但是对美国集团最理想的应对方案往往没有实施的机会。比较容易实施的方案集中于事后反应方案组中。全面政治制裁应当是各应对方案的基础配置。经济制裁方案较军事方案的风险级别低,易于试探边界。但是缺乏军事行动的任何方案都难以安抚集团内部的民...

    The dispute became a thorn in the diplomatic ties between India and China, mainly due to the fact that the two neigbours never really sat down to discuss the issue. China’s case in 1962 centred on India’s unilateral action allowing them to justify their incursion. (This is, however, somewhat ironic when it comes to Beijing’s own claim on Tibet, especially when the communist reg...

    India is often perceived as a regional power, but a closer look reveals that it is in a disadvantageous position vis-à-vis China in South Asia. The first reason is that Indian governments never had the political, economic, and military capacities to pursue their regional power ambitions with their neighbours in the long run. South Asian countries could always play the China car...
