Nuclear proliferation and nuclear reversal in South Asia

Article Abstract:

Comparison of the prospects for nuclear proliferation reversal in Pakistan and India with actual cases of nuclear reversal reveals two fundamental differences. Argentina, Belarus, Brazil, Kazakhstan, South Africa and Ukraine all reversed their nuclear proliferation policies. The change occurred in each country because there was an economic case for abandoning nuclear proliferation policies and because the governments came to perceive the lack of need for a nuclear deterrent. These conditions do not apply to Pakistan and India, but conditions for trust development between the countries do exist.

NATO's response to proliferation of weapons of mass destruction: facts and way ahead

Article Abstract:

NATO's efforts at discouraging the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons are progressing through the intensified diplomatic activity of its member states. The process effectively complements international efforts for non-proliferation. Informal consultations with Russia and other nations to arrive at a consensus for resolving the proliferation problems are a significant part of this process. NATO is also revising its military strategy to facilitate effective counter-proliferation measures.

France's commitment to nuclear deterrence

Article Abstract:

This article examines the role of nuclear deterrence in France, which the author asserts is still seen favorably by most French polticians despite growing concerns over nuclear waste dispossal and nuclear reactor safety. Reasons for the support of deterrence include the need for national security in an increasingly unstable world, and the national independence and autonomy provided by nuclear capability.
