Exploring Regional Responses to a Nuclear Iran: Nuclear Dominoes?

by C. Hobbs, M. Moran

Overview

This book challenges the widely held assumption that a nuclear-armed Iran would provoke a proliferation cascade in the Middle East. Arguing that a domino effect is by no means inevitable, the authors set out a number of policy measures that could be enacted by the international community to reduce this risk.

Editorial Reviews

"This is an important book at the right time for the Iranian nuclear debate. It takes a cool, analytical look at some of the more enduring assumptions underlying western policy on the issue, and strips them bare [...] The book is an essential resource as the world heads for another round of bargaining with Tehran." - Julian Borger, Diplomatic Editor, The Guardian, UK
