The articles in this issue of the SSQ address 1) why pessimism in current theorizing about nuclear weapons, and even a nostalgia for the Cold War, persists among current nuclear scholars; 2) if conventional arms transfer decisions in the US should consider economic security; 3) space power and the prospects for US success in future competition with China and Russia, and more. The edition also includes an interview with Robert O. Work, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense, on China’s competitive strategy against the United States.
