Ello!
I'll be adding "Analyzing Politics" to the list of books I will be reading this summer. I also want to read "The Federalist Papers". I started reading the latter this school semeter and I was very impressed and at the same time despondent, because if i had read that earlier in my school years I probably would have done "++". So I will be shifting in between
1. The Spread of Nuclear Weapons
2. Analyzing Politics by Kenneth A. Shepsle
3. The Federalsit Papers
Whatever floats my boat.
You'd be surprised to see what all three books have in common. Game theory is present in all of them and of course that helps tremendously with foresight.
The Fed talks about the strength of a nation combined even when it is entangled in international disputes and claims and the weakness of a state that is confederated. Basically, independence states --> high dependence and dependence --> strategic interdependence.
Recall, that in the nuclear weapons book the author mentions that without domestic stability states are less likely to invest time and resources on nuclear development, beacuse they either lack the technology and the knowledge, civil war, etc.
