“The Nuclear Dilemma: Understanding the Motivations for Acquiring Nuclear Weapons and the Impact of Further Proliferation on Global Security”

Title: Why do nations seek to acquire
nuclear weapons? Will further nuclear proliferation make the world safer or
more dangerous?
Sagan and Waltz is the key debate here, and the other suggested readings
modify or add to that debate in various ways. Answers that rely on Sagan’s 3
models alone do not fully answer the question: you need to think about the
strengths and limitations of those models, using the range of other material
suggested in the readings and by your own research. When you read the
Sagan/Waltz debate you will see that the second part of the question is asking
you to take a view, and you should justify your position.
