- W1569227131 abstract "This thesis reconstmcts the history of the theory of nuclear and the discipline of strategic sttidies in the period 1946 to 1960. The key elements of the theory were the view that nuclear weapons were qualitatively different from conventional weapons, that deterrence was the sole purpose of nuclear weapons, and that in order to fiilfil this purpose the weapons' retaliatory capability had to be protected from enemy attack. This amounted to a prescription for the non-use of nuclear weapons in any capacity by eittier side, ft is argued ttiat the tiieoiy of underwent a process of systematisation and formalisation during the 1950s. This process involved the application of systems analysis and game ttieory to sttategic analysis and led to the emergence of sttategic sttidies. ft is also argued that strategic studies was developed in emulation of economics, particularly neo-classical and quantitative economics. The sttategic ttieorists who were responsible for the development of die ttieoiy and discipline equated quantitative sttategic analysis with good sttategic analysis. Both systems analysis and game ttieory served as vehicles for the application of the methods of quantitative economics to die analysis of deteixence and its requirements. As the systematisation and formalisation of the theory took die view that deterrence was the sole purpose of nuclear weapons to a higher level of absttaction so did die dieory, and die discipline, become increasingly irrelevant to die practical concems of American policy makers and mihtary planners. The policy makers and planners saw no qualitative difference between conventional and nuclear weapons. They dierefore did not accept die view that die sole purpose of nuclear weapons was deten-ence as die theorists understood die term. Moreover, by die mid 1950s die military planners in particular had come to die conclusion that die only way to deter an enemy nuclear sttike was to pre-empt it. ft is argued in die thesis that die dieorists' awareness of die yawning gap between dieir and die poHcy makers' and planners' conception of die purpose of nuclear weapons was of paradigmatic importance for die dieory and die discipline." @default.
