Abstract
This chapter is a concluding discussion of the main findings. The chapter refers to the book’s contribution to scholarly literature on nuclear weapons, which suffered for years from a so-called “Cold War hangover” focusing to a large extent on the experience of two superpowers—the United States and the USSR. Subsequently, we discuss the theoretical framework implemented in the study involving external and internal variables. The discussion then focuses on a comparative examination of the material power of the examined case studies. We proceed with the examination of the countries’ perceptions of their relative power. Then we summarize the nuclear weaponization influence through the brief review of the patterns of warfighting of Pakistan, India, and Israel before and after crossing the nuclear weapons threshold.
