Iran has always denied nuclear weapons\n aspirations, yet it cannot be disputed that the Islamic Republic has gone well\n beyond what is required for a civil nuclear programme based on energy\n production and scientific research. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eWhat, then, is the nature and significance of Iran's nuclear behaviour?\n Does it form part of a coherent strategy? What can Iran's actions in the\n nuclear field tell us about Tehran's intentions? And what does the Iranian\n case teach us about proliferation behaviour more generally? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses these\n questions by exploring the nature of nuclear hedging and how this approach\n might be identified, before applying this logic to the Iranian case. It\n provides fresh insights into the inherently opaque area of nuclear\n proliferation and a more nuanced interpretation of the Iranian nuclear\n challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137273086\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-27309-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 189\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752418865292,"sku":"9781137273086","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137273086.jpg?v=1775916576","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137273086","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
