"Delaying Doomsday sheds new light on an important and
policy-relevant question: when and why do states end their pursuit
of nuclear weapons? The book highlights the importance of US policy
for effectively countering nuclear proliferation around the world."
-- Elizabeth N. Saunders, Associate Professor, School of Foreign
Service, Georgetown University
"Why do countries renounce their nuclear ambitions? Rupal Mehta
answers this important question with a novel theory and evidence,
pointing to the crucial role of external actors such as the United
States in shaping incentives for states to undergo nuclear
reversal. Accessible, timely, and compelling, the book has enormous
implications for ongoing proliferation challenges such as Iran and
North Korea and the conduct of US foreign policy."-" -- Sarah E.
Kreps,
Professor of Government, Cornell University
