"Leveraging Latency explores how the weak coerce the strong with nuclear technology. Allies and adversaries alike can compel concessions from superpowers by threatening to acquire atomic weapons. When does nuclear latency-the technical capacity to build the bomb-enable states to pursue this coercive strategy? The conventional wisdom is that compellence with nuclear latency works when states are close to the bomb. But this intuitive notion is wrong. Tristan Volpe finds that more latency seldom translates into greater bargaining advantages. He reveals how coercion creates a tradeoff between making threats and assurances credible. States need just enough bomb-making capacity to threaten proliferation, but not so much that it becomes too difficult to promise nuclear restraint. The boundaries of this sweet spot align with the capacity to produce the fissile material at the heart of an atomic weapon. Historical studies of Japan, West Germany, North Korea, and Iran demonstrate that mere capacity to build atomic weapons can yield diplomatic dividends. As nuclear technology continues to cast a shadow over the global landscape, Leveraging Latency provides scholars and practitioners with a systematic assessment of its coercive utility. Volpe identifies a generalizable mechanism-the threat-assurance tradeoff-that explains why more power often makes compellence less likely to work. This framework illuminates how technology shapes broader bargaining dynamics and helps to refine policy options for inhibiting the spread of nuclear weapons"--

La storia sembra aver ripreso il suo cammino. La filosofia, dal canto suo, è tornata da diverso tempo a interrogarsi su nuovi criteri di analisi della realtà contemporanea, attingendo dalla tradizione utopica e rielaborando nuovi modelli di critica ed emancipazione. Sulla base dell'esperienza dell'omonimo seminario permanente, attivo dal 2017 nella Facoltà di Filosofia dell'Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele, questo volume intraprende - con i contributi di affermati studiosi e giovani ricercatori - un itinerario storico e interpretativo che restituisce la rilevanza e l'attualità di alcune figure utopiche della storia del pensiero e della teoria critica. Da More a Camus, da Sartre alla nuova Scuola di Francoforte, con incursioni critiche sulle utopie (e distopie) del contemporaneo.
