This volume examines the possibility of a world without nuclear
weapons. It starts from the observation that, although nuclear
deterrence has long been dominant in debates about war and peace,
recent events show that ridicule and stigmatization of nuclear
weapons and their possessors is on the rise. The idea of
non-nuclear peace has been around since the beginning of the
nuclear revolution, but it may be staging a return. The first part
reconstructs the criticism of nuclear peace, both past and present,
with a particular emphasis on technology. The second part focuses
on the most revolutionary change since the beginning of the nuclear
revolution, namely the Humanitarian Initiative and the resulting
Nuclear Ban Treaty (2017), which allows imagining non-nuclear peace
anew. The third and last part explores the practical and
institutional prospects of a peace order without nuclear weapons.
If non-nuclear peace advocates want to convince skeptics, they have
to come up with practical solutions in the realm of global
governance or world government.
