      Under what conditions would the democracies in Northeast Asia seek to join the nuclear weapons club? Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are threshold nuclear powers by virtue of their robust civilian nuclear-energy programmes. All three once pursued nuclear weapons and all face nuclear-armed adversaries. Fitzpatrick's latest book analyses these past nuclear pursuits and current proliferation drivers. It considers how long it would take each to build a nuclear weapon if such a fateful decision were made but does not predict such a scenario. Unlike when each previously went down a nuclear path, democracy and a free press now prevail as barriers to building bombs in the basement. Reliance on US defence commitments is a better security alternative--as long as such guarantees remain credible. But extended deterrence is not a barrier to proliferation of sensitive nuclear technologies. Nuclear hedging by its Northeast Asian partners will challenge Washington's nuclear diplomacy.

      Asia's Latent Nuclear Powers
    • Set in a Lincolnshire village during and just after World War One, this book follows a group of teenagers as they set out on life's adventures and leave their sheltered childhood behind, to find their way in a new and changing world. Rural life does not protect them from harsh reality, whether it finds them in the Trenches or on an Indian tea plantation. Dolly is the centre of the group and we see all the young lives reflected against her struggle to find herself and her future. There is also a darker thread running through the book, which threatens their happiness and security, as times change and adjustments must be made for a new post-war era. An absorbing and satisfying read which will give pleasure to all who enjoy a family saga.

      Dolly Don't Cry
    • This Element examines the many facets of ethical realism and the issues at stake in metaethical debates about it-both between realism and non-realist alternatives, and between different versions of realism itself.

      Ethical Realism
    • Radical Conduct reinterprets literary and political radicalism in London at the time of the French Revolution. It explores the tensions between the world people took for granted and their aspirations for change, exploring language, sociability, gender relations, music and dance.

      Radical Conduct
    • This book argues that Donald Trump's withdrawal from the JCPOA was a grave mistake, as the accord was a significant diplomatic achievement that usefully curtailed Iran's nuclear programme, and Iran was honouring its commitments under the deal.
