Nonproliferation as a goal of Japanese foreign assistance

Article Abstract:

Japan has transformed its economic assistance policy from one that is governed by foreign pressure and the need to promote the country's trade and investments, to one that has a tighter link to international security. The largest aid donor in the world, Japan now uses its foreign assistance funds to advocate nonproliferation, as shown by its suspension of grant aid to China after the latter undertook nuclear tests and to North Korea following its participation in the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization. This shows that Japan now supports the issue of nonproliferation, particularly that which involves nuclear weapons.

Rethinking Indo-Pakistani nuclear relations: condemned to nuclear confrontation?

Article Abstract:

Many US policymakers believe that tensions between India and Pakistan over Kashmir may lead to a nuclear confrontation. As a result, the Clinton administration has abandoned all hope that both nations can be urged to denuclearize and has, instead, opted to limit their nuclear capabilities. However, the end of the Cold War and the growing global interdependence presents more incentives to both Pakistan and India to reduce their nuclear stockpiles. The US can use such incentives to promote nuclear disarmament and peace between Pakistan and India.

China's nonproliferation and export control policies: boom or bust for the NPT regime?

Article Abstract:

China's declared nonproliferation policy is contradictory to its export practice, since it continues to export sensitive technologies. The contradiction can be explained by the inherent flaw in China's export control system. Essentially, changes in the export control system will determine the fate of the nonproliferation regime. The US and other proponents of nonproliferation should persuade China to implement such changes.
