Abstract

A state’s national security policy provides the structural framework for protecting its citizens and national security interests. These objectives provide the foundation for how a state will conduct its foreign policy, address threats, and promote its values and economic well-being. A state’s nuclear policy provides the governing philosophies of its nuclear arsenal, primarily concerning their security and conditions under which nuclear weapons could be employed.
