Rarely in the atomic age have hopes been raised as high as they are
now for genuine progress toward disarmament. The new receptivity
reflected in the policy declarations of many governments was
sparked by a wave of private initiatives led by former senior
policy leaders in many countries. This book examines practical
steps for achieving progress toward disarmament, realistically
assessing both challenges and opportunities associated with
achieving a world without nuclear weapons. The book places the
current debate over nuclear abolition in the context of urgent
non-proliferation priorities and the need to prevent nuclear
weapons from falling into the hands of extremist regimes and
terrorists. It examines the reasons why more than two dozen states
have given up nuclear programs over the years and distils lessons
from the end of the cold war to offer policy recommendations for
moving toward lessened global reliance on nuclear weapons. Also
included are in-depth analyses of proliferation challenges and
disarmament opportunities in North Korea and Iran. The book
concludes with a detailed roadmap for moving progressively toward
global nuclear zero. It proposes a new international security
regime based on shared missile defences, nonweaponized deterrence
and greater efforts to enhance transnational cooperation.
