| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that government leaders need to bid farewell to the assumption that the rationality of all nuclear states can be assured for all times, that nuclear deterrence can never fail, and that we are somehow "nuclear immortal." It is a fundamental fact of the multinuclear world of the twenty-first century that deterrence built on the threat of a nuclear second strike will not work against "irrational" aggressors.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are reasons other than his longevity why so many world leaders—among them the Chinese President Xi Jinping—continue to seek the counsel of Henry Kissinger, who stepped down as U.S. secretary of state close to four decades ago. In this respect, Barack Obama is unusual. He is the first U.S. president since Dwight Eisenhower not to seek Kissinger’s advice. Periodically, commentators urge Obama to be more “Kissingerian.” Others argue that he is Kissinger¬ian in practice, if not in rhetoric. But what exactly does the term mean?

| Summary/Abstract |
Concerns about nuclear proliferation have led to a new wave of enthusiasm for far-reaching nuclear disarmament schemes. According to their proponents, the United States must take the lead in generating a new global disarmament dynamic, including withdrawing the remaining U.S. tactical nuclear weapons from Europe. Such a step will not spell the end of extended deterrence, yet its drawbacks would far outweigh its gains. While achieving little in terms of relaunching disarmament, it would weaken nuclear sharing as an important achievement of managing alliance security. In an emerging multinuclear strategic environment, maintaining a visible nuclear bond between the United States and its NATO allies is not a Cold War relic, but a sensible and nonprovocative means of both deterrence and nonproliferation.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN RECENT DECADES, globalization processes have affected many spheres of human activity, including the nuclear sphere. Under the impact of globalization, the previously divided world, with nuclear weapons and nuclear technology, has transformed and turned into a global system of nuclear dependent states and non-state entities, with systemic properties such as the stability of international nuclear relations, resistance to the impact of destructive factors, nuclear security, and the solidarity of states in addressing global and regional nuclear problems. This global sociopolitical system is known as the "nuclear world."
