This important volume breaks new ground by moving past a focus on
the reasons why international actors acquire unconventional
weapons... For the statesperson, the volume acts as an admonition
to refrain from treating all proliferators alike; for the scholar,
it serves as an exceptional example of the analytical robustness
that results from a willingness to use multiple theoretical
approaches to explain complex phenomena.
