Nuclear topsy turvy: the security-economics nexus in Turkish-American relations
Abstract This article discusses the shift in Turkey’s nuclear alliance with the United States from client to junior partner. Ankara sought to bring the Turkish economy and military forces in line with those of its patron to signal its loyalty. But power asymmetries made it so that Washington became Ankara’s lifeline. From the 1950s until the mid-1960s, American policymakers applied a top-down style of alliance management, making important decisions without consulting Ankara.
How Do States Seek the Bomb?
Most nuclear proliferation scholarship focuses on why states seek nuclear weapons. The question of how nuclear aspirants attempt to acquire the bomb has received far less attention, but is in many ways more consequential for international peace and security. What strategies have states employed to develop nuclear weapons? And what are the implications of these strategies for proliferation and conflict dynamics?
The Soviet Archives and Xinjiang, 1944-1949
For many years scholars in Russia, China, and the West have debated the extent of Soviet involvement in the rebellion that took place in northern Xinjiang and led to the creation of the East Turkestan Republic, a de facto independent state that existed from 1944-1949. Newly opened Soviet archives help to clarify Soviet policy toward Xinjiang during this period.
Communists and Terrorists: Brothers in Arms or Allies of Convenience?
In 2008, the Cold War International History Project published two conversations between Nicolae Ceaușescu and Anwar al-Sadat.

Obtaining a mandate from the Egyptian side was no easy task for the Romanian delegation.

The Iranian flag waves outside the U.N. building that hosts the International Atomic Energy Agency office in Vienna on Wednesday. (Ronald Zak/AP) July 12 Iran announced this week that it has surpassed the uranium-enrichment level allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal. This was Tehran’s response to the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the deal and subsequent reimposition of harsh sanctions.
Proliferation and the Logic of the Nuclear Market
Few topics have received as much attention from policymakers and security experts as nuclear proliferation. The United States, for example, has made nonproliferation a strand of its grand strategy since 1945.1 In the early Cold War period, many believed that nuclear weapons would become widespread. India's nuclear test in May 1974 appeared to buttress that assessment.2 Yet, only ten states have acquired nuclear weapons, and one of them (South Africa) gave them up.
