Description: How has China shaped global nuclear order? This book offers an empirically rich study of Chinese nuclear weapons behaviour and the impact of this behaviour on global nuclear politics since 1949.
Review Quotes: This book offers a different angle to analyze and interpret China's nuclear politics. Rather than focusing exclusively on the capabilities and doctrines of China's nuclear forces, which represents the standard approach, Horsburgh is able to draw our attention to the roles played by China in shaping international regimes and norms for non-proliferation, arms control, and disarmament...this book complements and enhances existing studies which
all use realist approaches to interpret China's nuclear politics. Libraries and researchers on China's nuclear issues will clearly benefit from this book's unique insights and contributions."
