This book examines the evolution of international nuclear
non-proliferation trade controls over time. The book argues that
the international nuclear export controls have developed in a
sub-optimal way as a result of a non-proliferation collective
action problem. This has resulted in competition among suppliers,
owing to the absence of an overarching effective system of control.
While efforts have been undertaken to address this collective
action problem and strengthen controls over time, these measures
have been inherently limited, it is argued here, because of the
same structural factors and vested interests that led to the
creation of the problem in the first place. This study examines
international controls from the beginning of the nuclear age and
early efforts to control the atom, up to more recent times and the
challenge posed by Iranian and North Korean nuclear ambitions.
Drawing on a rich body of original archival research and
interviews, the book demonstrates that the collective action
problem has restrained cooperation in preventing nuclear
proliferation and that gaps persist in the international nuclear
trade control regime. This book will be of much interest to
students of nuclear proliferation and arms control, security
studies, and International Relations.
