Abstract

With the emergence of the nuclear era and a balance of terror, the value that nations have previously associated with alliance participation has lessened. A rise in nationalism has highlighted the close association between national prestige and the possession of nuclear arms. The net effect appears to be a consistently weaker bargaining position with the Soviets.
