Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is always appropriate to ask whether an expedient foreign policy is morally justifiable, just as it is always appropriate to ask whether a morally defensible policy is consistent with the national interest. The ongoing dialogue between morality and realpolitik gives much of foreign policy debate its characteristic bite. In this collection of essays, a distinguished group of philosophers, political theorists, and lawyers– including Russell Hardin and Marshall Cohen–explore these contrasting themes. In essays that are at once insightful and accessible, noted political thinkers examine the tension of the conflicting demands of morality and national self-interest in the context of the foundations of international order, the possession and use of nuclear weapons, recourse to war, and the prospects for peace. A final postscript addresses the question of the responsibility of intellectuals in the national foreign policy debate. This book will appeal to scholars and students in any discipline dealing with international affairs as well as to lay readers who wish to explore the implications of taking morality and reason seriously in foreign policy.

Book excerpt: A leading international security strategist offers a compelling new way to "think about the unthinkable." The cold war ended more than two decades ago, and with its end came a reduction in the threat of nuclear weapons—a luxury that we can no longer indulge. It's not just the threat of Iran getting the bomb or North Korea doing something rash; the whole complexion of global power politics is changing because of the reemergence of nuclear weapons as a vital element of statecraft and power politics. In short, we have entered the second nuclear age. In this provocative and agenda-setting book, Paul Bracken of Yale University argues that we need to pay renewed attention to nuclear weapons and how their presence will transform the way crises develop and escalate. He draws on his years of experience analyzing defense strategy to make the case that the United States needs to start thinking seriously about these issues once again, especially as new countries acquire nuclear capabilities. He walks us through war-game scenarios that are all too realistic, to show how nuclear weapons are changing the calculus of power politics, and he offers an incisive tour of the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia to underscore how the United States must not allow itself to be unprepared for managing such crises. Frank in its tone and farsighted in its analysis, The Second Nuclear Age is the essential guide to the new rules of international politics.

Book excerpt: The nuclear proliferation dilemmas of the second nuclear age are irreducibly moral or ethical, and the political/strategic success in addressing them depend upon treating them first and foremost as problems of political theory. A moral ethnographic account of the main justificatory discourses for nuclear weaponization is undertaken to support two claims. One, that the main theoretical anchors employed to politically justify nuclear weapons aspirations - e.g., "security", "identity", and "retribution"--Are irreducibly moral. Secondly, that these discourses are evidence that state and non-state nuclear aspirants are (knowingly or not) implicated in at least one of the following interrelated moral dilemmas: (1) morality and law, (2) obligation and ignorance, (3) competing moral requirements, and (4) contradictory moral rules. Under current international conditions, these dilemmas appear not to be resolvable. Only if a radical transformation of thought and action is undertaken will the moral dilemmas of the second nuclear age be transcended. I conclude by exploring at least two avenues of such transformation. Ultimately, my dissertation enables future research that evaluates the moral validity of each justificatory discourse and draws conclusions for theoretical and policy-oriented research.
