  • Cultural Barriers to an Acceptance of Deterrence

    George H QuesterCHAPTERLogic of Nuclear Terror2020

    As we enter the fifth decade after Hiroshima, the concept of deterrence is under a somewhat unfair attack from both left and right. Critics from the left assail it as justifying too many weapons systems, or as assuming too much in the way of human rationality for heading off an ultimate thermonuclear cataclysm.1 Critics from the right claim that the Soviet Union does not share Western concepts or views here and perhaps is not as frightened of nuc…

  • Deterrence Before Hiroshima

    George H QuesterBOOKDeterrence Before Hiroshima2019

    In this study, first published in 1966, Quester analyzes pre-nuclear age theories of deterrence to equip us with perspective and data by which current theories can be evaluated. Quester presents a forceful argument in support of the relevance of history to discussions of military strategy

  • Nuclear Proliferation

    Open AccessGeorge H QuesterARTICLEInternational Studies Review2009Referencias: 1

    This is a very valuable book on at least two dimensions. First, as one now often sees a perhaps excessive pessimism about whether the spread of nuclear weapons can be contained, when the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) is widely seen as cracking and failing, the author here joins a number of others, including Mitchell Reiss's (1995),Bridled Ambition, T. V. Paul's (2000),Power Versus Prudence, and Etel Solingen's (2007)Nuclear Logics, who h…

    George H QuesterARTICLEThe US Army War College Quarterly…2005

    T his article will attempt to project current demographic trends in the United States and abroad, along with several related determinants, a substantial distance into the future, so as to explore some possibly surprising implications for the recruitment of armed forces. The most important of these demographic factors will be the "graying" of the population, in America and all the advanced industrialized countries, as lower birthrates and longer l…

  • Mismatched Deterrents

    George H QuesterARTICLEInternational Studies Perspectives2000Citada por: 2

    The basic logic of graduated deterrence worked fairly well against the Soviet Union, as each level of aggression was to be deterred by a matching response. But this logic has now been undermined vis-a-vis future rogue state chemical and biological attacks by the spread of dual-use technologies that can be diverted to weapons, and by decisions of the United States and other democracies to forego possession of chemical or biological weapons. This a…

  • The United States and Asia After the Cold War

    George H QuesterARTICLESoutheast Asian affairs1994

    In the aftermath of the end of the War, the United States inevitably has to reconsider its military and foreign policy commitments. Americans were ex tremely happy about events in 1989, of course, but have experienced a series of disappointments since then. If their initial reaction was to celebrate, and to contemplate disengagement, the picture as of 1993 is thus more confusing. The intent of this discussion is to consider the U.S. policies of a…
