Does peaceful nuclear assistance raise the likelihood of nuclear weapons proliferation? Have international institutions effectively separated peaceful and military uses of nuclear technology? Fuhrmann (political science, Texas A&M University) addresses these questions in this study of US nuclear assistance to various countries, from the 1950s through the present. He demonstrates how peaceful nuclear cooperation facilitates the spread of nuclear weapons and explains why nuclear export strategies backfire. Th is also more generally about the use of economic statecraft to achieve foreign policy objectives and the ways that tools of international influence can have unintended consequences.
