What is the global nuclear order and why does it matter? -- Three phases of the global nuclear order/disorder paradigm -- The nuclear non-proliferation treaty's contribution to global nuclear order -- The NPT nuclear weapon states and global nuclear order -- The non-NPT nuclear armed states and global nuclear order -- Reflecting on the importance of perspective in global nuclear order.
This book examines the importance of global nuclear order, emphasising the importance of perspective in our understanding of it, and its significance in international politics.
Addressing a gap in existing literature, this book provides an introduction to nuclear weapon states and their relationship with the global nuclear order/disorder paradigm. It explores four main themes and aims to:
1. conceptualise the dichotomous paradigm of global nuclear order/disorder;
2. outline the different phases of global nuclear order/disorder from 1945 to present;
3. address the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the wider international nuclear non-proliferation regime;
4. provide an overview of every nuclear weapon state’s national nuclear doctrines throughout the years.
The book will be of much interest to students of nuclear proliferation, global governance, security studies, Cold War studies, foreign policy and IR, more generally.
