内容简介

This edited volume assesses contemporary efforts to stem nuclear proliferation with a view to recommending better non-proliferation tools and strategies. Nuclear weapons remain an essential part of the security policies of leading states. A number of states maintain strong nuclear weapon ambitions, and terrorists have actively been seeking nuclear weapon capabilities. In search of an overarching strategy that recognizes both the flaws of the existing non-proliferation regime and the value of some of the correctives proposed by regime critics, this volume assesses contemporary efforts to stem nuclear proliferation. In doing so, it examines a number of case studies including: Iran, Korea, Israel, Libya, Pakistan, India and non-state actors, with a view to recommending better non-proliferation tools and strategies. It is written by renowned international scholars, who have obtained the best possible analyses of critically important issues related to international non-proliferation dynamics and the future integrity of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). "Nuclear Proliferation and International Security" will be of great interest to students of nuclear proliferation, arms control, and international security in general.
