description: Examining the nuclear weapons policies of India, Pakistan, Israel, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and Syria, Khan (American U. in Cairo, Egypt) asks what proliferation incentives are decisive in regions of protracted conflict. She contends that the most salient factor is a "higher-than- normal" probability of war. She creates a proliferation hierarchy of war probability and suggests that two-power, dyadic regions are more likely to move towards proliferation, while multi-power regions contain largely muted proliferation.
