First published in 1983, Nuclear Power Struggles (now with a new preface by the authors) analyses the strains within the nuclear reactor industry and assesses the scale and location of future markets. It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of leading exporters and considers what can be done to avoid a deterioration of trade behaviour.The book examines the merits of alternative approaches to nuclear trade, from political and strategic standpoints. It highlights policy differences between suppliers, and especially between the USA and Europe, which threaten to place further stress on transatlantic relations. It addresses the problems of moving from a non-proliferation regime dominated by the USA and USSR to one in which responsibilities must be more widely shared and focuses on the crucial role of France.This volume will be an essential reading for policymakers in the government, industry and international organisations; and for all those concerned with the vital issues of nuclear proliferation and industrial adjustment.

On the basis of a close reading of Milton's major published political prose works from 1644 through to the Restoration, William Walker presents the anti-formalist, unrevolutionary, illiberal Milton. Walker shows that Milton placed his faith not so much in particular forms of government as in statesmen he deemed to be virtuous. He reveals Milton's profound aversion to socio-political revolution and his deep commitments to what he took to be orthodox religion. He emphasises that Milton consistently presents himself as a champion not of heterodox religion, but of 'reformation'. He observes how Milton's belief that all men are not equal grounds his support for regimes that had little popular support and that did not provide the same civil liberties to all. And he observes how Milton's powerful commitment to a single religion explains his endorsement of various English regimes that persecuted on grounds of religion. This reading of Milton's political prose thus challenges the current consensus that Milton is an early modern exponent of republicanism, revolution, radicalism, and liberalism. It also provides a fresh account of how the great poet and prose polemicist is related to modern republics that think they have separated church and state.
