The Second Nuclear Age,

Readers of Colin Gray’s earlier works will not be disappointed by this new book, nor will his critics be surprised by his conclusions. Gray argues that the end of the Cold War does not mean that nuclear weapons can be eliminated or forgotten. This book is indeed valuable for noting, and taking to task, the wide variety of academic trends and fashions that have drawn such opti- mistic conclusions since the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union

The Diffusion of Military Technology and Ideas,

This book offers a rich collection of re- search papers on very important top- ics: the much discussed revolution in military affairs (RMA), and the less dis- cussed diffusions of new military tech- nology and the accompanying changes in military doctrine to other countries. The authors were carefully chosen ex- perts in history, political science, and sociology, who address the very impor- tant factors of national culture as they affect the application of new military technologies

Two Hundred Years of Preemption

Preemption and preventive war have a mixed history in terms of moral acceptance. The strongest condemnation dates from 1918, not 1945. Nonetheless, the world’s experiences before 1914 and since 1938 suggest that it may have to live with, and make the best of, such options

Commentary

Skeptics of a total elimination of nuclear weapons often point to a “prisoner’s di- lemma” situation that might emerge, where everyone suspects everyone else of cheating by secretly retaining or manufacturing atomic bombs. Advocates of “global zero” sometimes then respond that this is all too theoretical and hypo- thetical, as we have no way of knowing whether such suspicions would be so all-powerful in a disarmed world. Yet one can point out a real-life example of such a global-zero situation, in the last decades before Hiroshima, where the world’s knowledge of the possibilities of a nuclear chain reaction was emerging and where the result was a “race” to build the bomb, with the United States “winning” this race in the Manhattan Project, Nazi Germany having done very little to produce such weapons

What drives renewal of sponsorship principal/agent relationships?

The relationship between advertising agencies and their clients has been the subject of some research, including studies conceptualizing it from an agency theory perspective. The increasingly important relationship between sports (or art) properties and their sponsors, on the other hand, while recognized as crucial for the long-term success of the sponsorship agreement, has remained shrouded in mystery, with little or no research aiming to establish and understand the antecedent of sponsorship renewal. This article reports on an exploratory dyadic study examining the effects of market orientation, trust, and commitment on the principal's willingness to renew the sponsorship relationship. The leading sponsorship property in Australia, the Australian Football League (AFL), and its major sponsors provided the empirical context for this study.Francis Farrelly and Pascale G. Queste
