Under the Nuclear Shadow, China's Information Age Weapons in International Security

Fiona Cunningham's "Under the Nuclear Shadow" delves into China's unique approach to limited war deterrence in the post-Cold War era.

The book introduces the concept of 'strategic substitution,' where China leverages information-age weapons like cyber operations and precision missiles to deter adversaries without resorting to nuclear threats or decisive conventional warfare.

Cunningham meticulously analyzes China's decision-making process, drawing on extensive research in both English and Chinese sources.

The study offers valuable insights into China's military modernization and its implications for international security.

The book also explores the potential for other states to adopt similar strategies using emerging technologies.
