Sommes-nous au bord d’une guerre nucléaire ? La dissuasion est-elle un facteur modérateur dans les relations internationales ? Quel rôle joue exactement l’arme atomique dans un paysage où les formes de guerre se sont diversifiées ? Ces questions sont aujourd’hui cruciales face aux menaces proférées par la Russie et alors que les dangers nucléaires se sont multipliés en Asie. Qui a vraiment le pouvoir de déclencher l’Apocalypse ? Comment élabore-t-on les plans d’emploi de l’arme atomique ? Quelles leçons peut-on tirer des crises qui ont parfois amené le monde au bord du gouffre depuis 1945 ? La Bombe maintient-elle la paix entre grandes puissances et continuera-t-elle de le faire ?Au moment où le sort de la planète pourrait basculer, Bruno Tertrais, dans cet ouvrage fondateur, fruit de trente ans d’expérience au plus près des réalités nucléaires, répond à cette question par l’affirmative, sans masquer les limites du concept de dissuasion.

Is Japan abandoning its pacifism? The Japanese government has claimed it is doubling its defense spending and has announced a plan to equip itself with the capability to "counterattack" enemy bases overseas, a departure from the nation's postwar consensus. Shedding new light on Japan's pacifism and Hiroshima's role in it, Yuasa investigates the events of postwar Japan and how it catalyzed a range of challenges to public sentiment.Japan's Constitution stipulates the renunciation of war and forbids using force to settle international disputes. This radical shift has been led by Fumio Kishida, the prime minister, whose constituency is Hiroshima, the atomic-bombed city symbolizing Japan's postwar pacifism. This book is about Hiroshima's local nuclear politics and popular consciousness about pacifism. Based on published and unpublished local documents and participant observation, it describes how postwar global and national power has formulated local politics and discusses the impact of local struggles on national and global politics. The key concept is "imaginary". Institutionalized imaginary effectively channels people's suppressed desires and emotions into coordinated action in the society. The current political crossroad of Hiroshima and Japan is interpreted as a terrain constructed over the last half century by three paradoxically coexisting and competing pacifist imaginaries, namely constitutional, anti-nuclear, and nuclear pacifism. They were, however, significantly destabilized by the Fukushima nuclear disaster and a newly invented "proactive pacifism".
