Geopolitics in a Changing World
by Klaus Dodds
"This chapter has explicitly rejected the claim by some conservative commentators that nuclear proliferation may actually contribute to regional and global stability because it introduces a sense of caution into the decision making process of political and military leaders.
stability is not necessarily the product of tension between morality and practical political views.
Chief competitor for resources in all nations is militarism, both passive economic relations (pork-barrel politics) and overt armament sales to overseas nations, or client states.
Experts acknowledge that "militarization is intimately connected with other concerns such as the North - South relations (opportunity divide), development, poverty, and environmental problems."
"located within a matrix"
"consider how nuclear weapons can be eradicated."
