Human history has seen the creation of a limited number of weapons that have significantly influenced the nature of conflict and the strategies associated with it. Nuclear weapons represent a revolutionary strategy, where the mere fact of their possession affects the dynamics of international games without the need to actually use them. The aim of this thesis is to conduct a search of articles dealing with nuclear conflicts. The selection of articles was made from the ProQuest database, which collects scholarly texts. The current conflict in Ukraine has increased the discussion on nuclear weapons, providing a new perspective on the topic. Forty-two articles were analysed in this thesis, describing 32 models created by the authors. The thesis focuses on fundamental issues related to nuclear weapons such as arms race, brinkmanship and last but not least deterrence. The papers have been classified according to the geographical areas they deal with. Where articles did not focus on a specific region, they were categorized according to the conflict they analysed.
