The existing literature on nuclear proliferation has left a significant gap in our understanding of why nuclear-armed weak states persistently pursue enhancements to their nuclear strategy and what factors substantially drive changes in their nuclear doctrine. This study explores how weak states’ strategic preferences shape their nuclear strategy, employing qualitative case studies focused on regional nuclear powers, namely Pakistan and North Korea. To address these scholarly riddles, this research develops a framework for comprehending the strategic preferences of weak states and examines why they tend to adopt a risk-acceptant nuclear strategy. This paper reveals that the strategic preferences of weak states play a pivotal role in shaping their nuclear programs and fostering a risk-acceptant posture aimed at ensuring domestic political stability. Furthermore, nuclear-armed weak states commonly evolve their nuclear strategy from minimum credible deterrence to full-spectrum deterrence. These findings imply that the strategic preferences of regional nuclear powers should be considered a pivotal factor in future studies of nuclear proliferation.
Abstract
The existing literature on nuclear proliferation has left a significant gap in our understanding of why nuclear-armed weak states persistently pursue enhancements to their nuclear strategy and what factors substantially drive changes in their nuclear doctrine. This study explores how weak states’ strategic preferences shape their nuclear strategy, employing qualitative case studies focused on regional nuclear powers, namely Pakistan and North Korea. To address these scholarly riddles, this research develops a framework for comprehending the strategic preferences of weak states and examines why they tend to adopt a risk-acceptant nuclear strategy. This paper reveals that the strategic preferences of weak states play a pivotal role in shaping their nuclear programs and fostering a risk-acceptant posture aimed at ensuring domestic political stability. Furthermore, nuclear-armed weak states commonly evolve their nuclear strategy from minimum credible deterrence to full-spectrum deterrence. These findings imply that the strategic preferences of regional nuclear powers should be considered a pivotal factor in future studies of nuclear proliferation.
