Abstract

Zwald argues that policymakers’ beliefs regarding prudent state behavior in a nuclear environment determine their understanding of what missile defense technology can do. He is currently pursuing the implications of this research by extending the concept of irreducible uncertainty and belief structures regarding nuclear weapons to issues beyond the U.S. national missile defense system.
