Labor and the bomb: The first 80 years

Article Abstract:

The UK government's consideration of whether to replace Trident evokes past controversies about the bomb including occasions when the Labor Party advocated unilateral renunciation of British nuclear weapons. The development of Labor's approach to nuclear weapons since 1945 is examined with particular attention to the 1980s, as members of the existing cabinet would have clear recollections of campaigning on an anti-nuclear policy in the 1980s.

The future of United Kingdom nuclear weapons: Shaping the debate

Article Abstract:

Britain was a nuclear-weapon state since the 1950s and the existing force of four nuclear-powered submarines armed with Trident D.5 missiles is not expected to be dependably sustainable beyond the early or middle 2020s in key respects. The open debate for which the government has called would have to consider international obligations and the amount and incidence of costs, and opportunity costs.

Nuclear disarmament versus peace in the twenty-first century

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the continuing necessity for Britain to retain its nuclear capability is conducted, arguing that the purpose of the British nuclear deterrent is to minimize the prospect of the UK being attacked by mass destruction weapons. The possession of the deterrent may be unpleasant, but it is necessary, not for its actual use but in its nature as the ultimate 'stalemate weapon'.
