What are the issues facing the international community as it seeks to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons? In this account, the author assesses the performance of the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the nuclear export controls intended to stop the dissemination of nuclear armaments. The book questions conventional policy alternatives such as disarmament, an end to nuclear testing and the use of sanctions and proposes two alternatives to nuclear proliferation which take account of the fundamental motives for nuclear weapons. This book examines the components of the nuclear nonproliferation regime and policies which have been suggested as means to strengthen it. The purpose is to stimulate discussion of alternatives that might lower the likelihood of further proliferation and help reduce the nuclear arms and capabilities of proliferant states. Condition: Very good.
