Synopsis

The proliferation of nuclear weapons has been defined as the gravest potential threat to international peace and security. This text considers that the concept of nuclear deterrence should be revisited in this regard, and argues for a nuclear-free world on realist not moral grounds. The longer the nuclear weapons states hold on to their nuclear weapons, the book argues, the bigger the chance that nuclear weapons will be spread and will be used (once again) by accident, in an authorized or unauthorized way, or that nuclear terrorism becomes reality. The marginalizing of nuclear weapons resulting in a nuclear weapon-free world in term should be considered as a viable alternative.
