This book relates a complex ethical (re)assessment of the continued
reliance by some states on nuclear weapons as instruments of state
power. This (re)assessment is more urgent considering the
relatively recent intensification of great power conflict dynamics
and the nuclear-weapon states' recommitments to modernizing,
augmenting, or tailoring their nuclear forces to address vital
state and alliance interests. And, especially since the beginning
of the administration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, these
recommitments have accelerated the degree to which the political
and moral dilemmas of (the threat of) nuclear use define and
intensify existential risks for specific states and the
international community at large. To execute this (re)assessment,
this book details how strategic, political, legal, and moral
reasoning are deeply intertwined on the questions of vital state
and global values. Its ontological assumptions are taken from a
broadly construed IR Constructivist stance, and its epistemological
approach applies non-ideal moral principles informed by Kantian
thought to selected problems of nuclear-armed security competition
as they evolved since President Barack Obama's 2009 Prague
Declaration. This non-ideal moral approach employed is committed to
the view that the dual imperatives of humanity's survival and the
common security of states requires an international order which
privileges considerations of justice over power-political
considerations. This non-ideal moral approach is a necessary
element of theorizing a set of practices to effectively address the
challenges and dilemmas of reordering international politics in
terms of justice.
