This book seeks to decolonize practices of arms control and
disarmament. In this endeavor it seeks to problematize our
understanding of time and civilization as rhetorical resources. The
need for such an undertaking can be premised on the claim that
while problems of modernity, ethnocentrism and universalism are now
a central concern within the field of international relations,
these ideas are scarcely debated or contested within the field of
arms control and disarmament. The singular focus on technological
innovations and specific policy-oriented agreements in practices of
arms control and disarmament appears to stymie the need for such
engagements. This book is an invitation to explore intersecting
discourses on colonialism, racialism, nationalism and
humanitarianism within a historically grounded terrain of weapons
control. An understanding of these practices is vital not to
prescribe any standards of civilization or exceptionalism in
weapons control but to be cognizant through critique of the dangers
embedded in any effort at reconstellating the constitutional
nuclear order.
