Reviews
‘Nuclear strategists across the globe are grappling with a new global nuclear landscape dotted by many players, and facing simultaneous headwinds from plummeting political trust levels, galloping technological advancements, vanishing treaties and fraying norms. This book uses an inclusive lens to examine perspectives of 20 countries by categorising them on their affinity to nuclear weapons and their response to changing global nuclear politics. A novel take and interesting read.’ Manpreet Sethi, Distinguished Fellow at the Centre for Air Power Studies, New Delhi, India ‘The Global Third Nuclear Age advances our understanding of the full range of actors, technologies, and norms that are shaping the current nuclear age with its growing nuclear risks and eroding consensus on the ways to reduce them. Impressive in its scope, exhaustively researched, and clearly written, this book should be read by policymakers, academics, analysts, and students alike.‘ James Acton, co-director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington DC, USA 'We have moved into a new technological and geopolitical configuration after the Cold War. The norms-based international order so painstakingly constructed since 1945 is being undermined and arms control treaties and recent norms concerning nuclear weapons lack universal support. This is the context of the new nuclear age described here. This excellent volume examines its impact on and the influence of 20 states with a fine feeling for the peculiarities of each.' Beatrice Heuser, Distinguished Professor, Brussels School of Governance, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium 'The book is an excellent addition to scholarship on the third nuclear age and its focus on assessing elites’ perspectives on technological innovations, geopolitics and norms will enrich the debate on nuclear politics. Scholars should build on this book’s insights to develop non-western theoretical frameworks to evaluate the shifting nuclear landscape.' Rabia Akhtar, University of Lahore, International Affairs, July 2025
