Waltz E A (Nao) Proliferacao -- Mais Armas Nucleares, Mais Paz? O Irao Nuclear: A Luz Do Realismo Estrutural
In: Relações internacionais: R:I, Heft 39
Abstract
In this essay we look at the question from Waltz's point of view of the very topical issue of nuclear proliferation. Since the early 1980s until his recent death Waltz kept an active interest and a very specific position on this matter. He denied there was such a thing as nuclear proliferation and, moreover, refused that, in light of structural realism the spread of nuclear weapons, even to a theocracy like Iran, would be a problem. This paper will explain why and around this theme we will draw the intellectual profile of Waltz as a realist that values the role of the State in international security, but was often critical of the security policies of his own state, the United States. Adapted from the source document.
