Viewpoint : India ’ S Nuclear Labyrinth
نویسنده
چکیده
William Walker is professor of international relations at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He is the co-author with David Albright and Frans Berkhout of SIPRI’s Plutonium and Highly Enriched Uranium: World Inventories, Capabilities and Policies (forthcoming, 1996). There have been many recent cases of states reversing course. Russia has embraced capitalism and democracy, China has thrown open its doors to foreign investors, and previously white-ruled South Africa has abandoned apartheid. While such events are always unexpected, after historians have done their work, it becomes clear that each was the result of a gradual destabilization of the prevailing orthodoxy. Their timing was usually determined by contextual changes and contingent events that forced leaders to conclude that “the situation is no longer tolerable.”
