The Utility of Ambiguity: Towards a Theory of Horizontal Proliferation in the "New World Order"

Abstract

Working paper no. 156, Peace Research Centre, Australian National University. The Peace Research Centre was established at the Australian National University in 1984. The proposal to set up a peace research institute came from a group of academics, public servants, representatives of voluntary organisations and the Labor government in 1983 as part of a wider policy of Australia's commitment to disarmament.
