Originally published in 1987, this book is concerned with the
possible acquisition of nuclear weapons by states not in possession
of them and the international concern caused by this. Since 1968,
the international arrangements designed to prevent this had been
based upon the Nuclear Non-Proliferations Treaty, which had over
130 states as signatories at the time of publication. The initial
period of application of this treaty ended in 1995, and a
conference was held then to discuss its extension. This volume was
the first public attempt to explore the problems surrounding this
conference, to examine issues likely to determine its outcome, and
to analyse the consequences if the conference were to fail to reach
any agreement on extension. The international contributors were
among the foremost students and practitioners in the area, and
brought unique knowledge and experience to the subject. The result
was a pathbreaking attempt to investigate a critical problem for
international security in the 1990s, and to identify methods
whereby international nuclear non-proliferation arrangements could
be extended into the next century.
