The Uncertain Course: New Weapons, Strategies and Mind-Sets (SIPRI Monograph Series)
This is the first comprehensive analysis of the strategic, military, and technological forces that are changing the nature and likelihood of war during the post-nuclear age. The contributors examine a range of exotic new weapons and assess the unique challenges facing international security in a world that has 21st-century weapons and 19th-century ways of thought, concluding that while the risk of deliberate war may be decreasing, inadvertent war has become more likely.
