Strategic Studies and its Critics

The Concise Encyclopaedia of Economics http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/GameTheory.html offers for the uninitiated a brief introduction to game theory, as employed during the ‘Golden Age’ of strategic studies.

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) http://www.cnduk.org maintains the moral arguments for nuclear disarmament that continue to counter the focus on the strategic use of nuclear weapons within strategic studies.

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation http://www.wagingpeace.org also maintains a staunch critique against the possession of nuclear weapons.

The Nuclear Security Project http://www.nuclearsecurityproject.org was founded by a group of four former US ‘cold warriors’—former Secretary of State George P. Schultz, former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, and former Senator Sam Nunn—and argues that nuclear weapons are a source of strategic instability in the post-cold war context.
