Renegotiating the Nuclear Order offers a sociological approach to
the nuclear order, and order defined by nuclear technology and
nuclear weapons. The focus is on the need to renegotiate the
nuclear order, given the conflict between deterrence and
disarmament and the unbalanced distribution of rights and
responsibilities between the nuclear and nonnuclear states. The
study applies the concepts, a relevant social group, and a
technological frame developed in the sociology of technology on the
current competition between the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the
Treaty on the Prohibition on Nuclear Weapons. The negotiations of
the nuclear programs of North Korea and Iran form the empirical
background. The policy challenges identified in the sociotechnical
analysis are threefold. Firstly, there is the need to guarantee the
credibility of the nuclear diplomacy in the gap between the
“military” and the “peaceful”. Secondly, during the past 50
years the rights of the non-nuclear states have been undermined,
while the nuclear-weapon states have ignored their disarmament
obligations. There is a need to renegotiate a new balance. Thirdly,
the relationship between the two treaties has to be clarified. The
proposal is to clearly separate the two into a comprehensive treaty
on non-proliferation and to a verifiable treaty on prohibiting
nuclear weapons. This book will be of much interest to students of
security studies, arms control and disarmament, sociology, STS
(Science-Technology-Society) studies, and International Relations.
