Abstract

The importance of cognitive psychological influences, national security policies, and military capabilities in shaping a power projecting state’s perceptions and response to emerging nuclear threats was discussed in Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 5. The Analysis of Data chapter incorporates these influences and applies them to the four proliferation cases using the Differential Effects of Threat Perception’s two decision-tree heuristics to forecast the power-projecting state’s degree of perceived threat, and how it is projected to respond to the non-power-projecting state’s proliferation efforts.
