DESCRIPTION
The Nuclear Tipping Point provides a framework for understanding the myriad factors that shape nuclear policy. Case studies of eight long-term stalwarts of the nonproliferation regime-Egypt, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Syria, Taiwan, and Turkey-Flesh out this framework and show how even these countries might be pushed over the edge of a nuclear tipping point.
