The case against nuclear abolition and for nuclear deterrence
Article Abstract:
The difficulties of implementing nuclear abolition to effect nuclear deterrence, along with its counterproductive and potentially dangerous implications are discussed. Other nations such as Japan and Israel, which depend on the US for security, may start developing their own nuclear arsenals with the implementation of US nuclear abolition. In addition, the lack of assurance of international cooperation and effective disarmament policies and procedures undermines the effective and realistic implementation of nuclear abolition.

Alternative grand strategy options for the United States
Article Abstract:
The US has three strategy options based on noninterventionism, unipolarity and multilateralism in the period after the cold war. The end of cold war has made the US policy of containment irrelevant in the international arena. The three strategies are aimed at maintaining the status quo and international stability. The debate assumes significance due to the nature of the outside threat and the internal weakness of the US. The details of the policy can be formulated by the experts after deciding on a particular option.
