Contrary to expectations, the end of Cold War did not eliminate the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Although we have likely escaped the danger of a nuclear Armageddon, WMD continue to pose a serious threat to today’s global security. The aim of this volume is to analyze some of the key issues which concern the presence and proliferation of WMD in the globalized and unpredictable context of the 21st century. Each contribution, written by an expert in the field, addresses a dimension of the policies and regimes governing international nonproliferation and disarmament. Overall, the volume assesses the current nonproliferation challenges in many regions of the world and presents some novel proposals for strengthening the control of WMD, regionally and globally. This book is distinguished by its timeliness, its balanced approach to both realities and ideals, and its intended accessibility to both subject-matter experts and non-specialist readership.

Abstract

Contrary to expectations, the end of Cold War did not eliminate the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Although we have likely escaped the danger of a nuclear Armageddon, WMD continue to pose a serious threat to today’s global security. The aim of this volume is to analyze some of the key issues which concern the presence and proliferation of WMD in the globalized and unpredictable context of the 21st century. Each contribution, written by an expert in the field, addresses a dimension of the policies and regimes governing international nonproliferation and disarmament. Overall, the volume assesses the current nonproliferation challenges in many regions of the world and presents some novel proposals for strengthening the control of WMD, regionally and globally. This book is distinguished by its timeliness, its balanced approach to both realities and ideals, and its intended accessibility to both subject-matter experts and non-specialist readership.
