The Politics of Nuclear Disarmament

This book explores what political conditions must be established and what obstacles overcome for the five official Nuclear Weapon States (NWS)China, France, Russia, the UK and USto eliminate their nuclear weapons.

The different views and positions of a range of actors concerning nuclear weapons issuesincluding elite perspectives and public opinionand the political assumptions underpinning them, are discussed to develop a more democratic approach to disarmament. Addressing the lack of detailed analysis concerning the meaning of nuclear disarmament for the domestic political orders of NWS, the book critically explores different approaches to and theories of disarmament within legal, political and technical literatures and orthodox and critical theory. It also builds on previous discussions of nuclear possession, restraint, arms control, and disarmamentconcerning both nuclear possessor and non-possessor statesidentifying the insights these works provide regarding how NWS disarmament may be advanced.

Contributing to theoretical debates concerning how domestic politics interacts with and determines states international behaviour, the book will be of interest to all scholars and students of history, politics, international relations, security studies, military history, war studies, peace studies, conflict, democracy, and global governance.

Tim Street is a researcher and activist based in Chelmsford and Oxford.

Modern Security Studies

Series editors: Sean S. Costigan and Kenneth W. Estes

This series fills a known gap in modern security studies literature by pursuing a curated, forward-looking editorial approach on looming and evergreen security challenges. Short and long form works will be considered with an eye towards developing content that is widely suitable for instruction and research alike. Works adhere around the series four main categories: Controversies, Cases, Trends and Primers. We invite proposals that pay particular attention to controversies in international security, notably those that have resulted in newly exposed and poorly defined risks to non-state legitimacy, international or state capacities to act, and shifts in global governance. Case studies should examine recent historical events and security-related actions that have altered present day understanding or political calculations. Trends will need to detail future yet tangible concerns in a five to ten year timeframe. Authors are also invited to submit proposals to our primers category for short form works on key topics that are referenced and taught throughout security studies.

The official nuclear weapon states (NWS) under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) are China, France, Russia, the UK and US. The NPT defines an NWS as a state which has manufactured and exploded a nuclear weapon or other nuclear explosive device prior to 1 January 1967. Member states of the NPT without nuclear weapons are known as non-nuclear weapon states (NNWS). The designation of former nuclear weapon state (FNWS) is used to refer to NWS that in future complete the disarmament process, for the political and technical reasons explained below. The four nuclear-armed states (NAS) that are not members of the NPT are Israel, North Korea, India and Pakistan. The NWS and NAS are collectively referred to as nuclear weapon possessor states (NPS).
