Series: Routledge Studies in US Foreign Policy

This book comprehensively outlines and evaluates the key Obama nuclear weapons policies, developments and initiatives from 2008–2012. Beginning with the administration’s vision and goals posited in the 2009 Prague Speech and reaffirmed in the National Security Strategy of 2010, the book assesses the congressionally mandated Nuclear Posture Review, the New START Treaty, the pursuit of Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty ratification, the Proliferation Security Initiative, the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference, the Global Nuclear Security Summit – and the extent to which Obama, in the context of such initiatives, has actually upheld the lofty goals posited in Prague and differentiated himself from the nuclear path pursued by the Bush Administration. Additionally, the book evaluates the Obama Administration’s dealings with other states in the context of its nuclear weapons policy – in particular, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, Israel, India, and China.

Offering a comprehensive analysis of the current status of the US nuclear weapons strategy, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and students of American foreign policy, security studies and international relations.

Reviews for The Obama Administration’s Nuclear Weapon Strategy: The Promises of Prague

'The book's scope is wide yeat Warren discusses these amtters in a comprehensive and engaging manner, making it a valuable addition to the growing literature on various aspects of Obama's foreign and security policies. Scholars of US nuclear policy and American foreign policy more generally will find it of great interest' - Jason Douglas, University College Cork, International Affairs 'Far from merely being a presentation of Obama's nuclear stance, the book presents the reader with a comprehensive overview of the multiple aspects of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. Overall,it provides a thorough account of facts and data that make it recommendable to scholars of international relations, international security and US foreign policy.'
