In addition, they analyze a variety of related questions, including the interlocking preferences that fuel arms races, the strategic impact that Star Wars may have on nuclear deterrence, and optimal strategies for verifying arms control treaties.  \u003cp\u003eOf interest to students on international relations and foreign policy as well as those concerned with the formal analysis of conflict, \u003ci\u003eGame Theory and National Security\u003c\/i\u003e provides new foundations for understanding the rational basis of international conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eArms races \u003cp\u003eDeterrence\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWinding down\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStar wars\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOptimal threats\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCrisis stability\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVerification\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNational security and war\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441820332312,"sku":"9781557860033","price":42.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781557860033.jpg?v=1785027362","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/game-theory-and-national-security-hardback-9781557860033","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
