positive or negative answer to this question the argumentation would benefit if emanating from Kenneth Waltz reasoning‚ that in 1981 provoked a debate that until this day is engaging scholars and strategists. Waltz’s positive answer to the question stood‚ and stands‚ in sharp contrast to the general public understanding that proliferation of nuclear weapons is dangerous and undesirable. The classical debate that Waltz initiated has been focused on whether nuclear weapons create stability or not. Many scholars

Stability in the region with Iranian Nuclear Power The highly praised neo-realist thinker Kenneth Waltz is of the opinion that Iran should go nuclear (Waltz‚ 2012). He considers that a nuclear Iran will bring nuclear stability in the area of the Middle East. There have been past antagonism and unsympathetic liaison between Iran and the US and her supporter Israel. The anxiety has lately been intensify by Iran’s nuclear ambition (Wege‚ 2013).

nuclear proliferation becomes even more of a world priority. The arguments on both sides have significant merit‚ but the nuclear question burns brightly with the fast-changing international power landscape. Scholars such as Sagan‚ Mearsheimer‚ and Waltz largely deal with relationships between large states.

However‚ as a conflict between interests of states always exists‚ they tend to go on war only in certain conditions of the polarity of the system. Kenneth Waltz defined three types of polarity in the world: unipolar‚ bipolar and multipolar (Keohane‚ 1986). A position of a certain state in the system determines its behaviour and functions‚ with which it is obliged with in the international system. Although
