This book examines the question: is the elimination of nuclear
weapons politically feasible and technically practical? With the
end of the cold war, a re-thinking of the nuclear foundations of
international security is imperative. There are no compelling
reasons to perpetuate a cold war-era nuclear security approach.
Neither is the world ready to abolish nuclear weapons by agreement.
What it is ready for, however, is a radical reappraisal of
conventional strategic and disarmament wisdom. The book's explicit
focus on non-nuclear security takes issues with prevailing pro- and

strategic community that there is no alternative to nuclear

of radical nuclear disarmament who propose solutions at the expense
of security. Instead, the contributors argue that nuclear weapons
