How Nuclear Weapons Spread: Nuclear Weapon Proliferation in the 1990s (Operational Level of War) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: HOW NUCLEAR WEAPONS SPREAD The production of the first nuclear fission chain reaction in 1942 ushered in a new era in history and science. With both detrimental and beneficial effects, the nuclear age had begun—an age which would have far-reaching effects on the lives of subsequent generations. In How Nuclear Weapons Spread, Frank Barnaby examines the implications of nuclear weapons, and considers the close relationship between peaceful and military nuclear programmes. The book looks in detail at the nuclear programmes of Third World countries which have or could soon have the bomb, such as Israel, Pakistan and India, as well as those which are thought to be developing their nuclear capabilities—such as Iran and North Korea. Even more alarming is the threat that terrorists might acquire nuclear weapons. Frank Barnaby assesses the reality of this risk, and considers methods of checking the spread of these weapons. The book also contains detailed descriptions of the components needed for nuclear fission and thermonuclear weapons, and discusses the need to test these weapons, as well as the difficulties of disarming and disposing of nuclear materials. How Nuclear Weapons Spread will be of great interest to students of International Politics, International Relations and Strategy Studies. Frank Barnaby is a former Guest Professor at the Free University in Amsterdam and a former Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. He is currently a defence analyst and is the author of many books, including Star Wars, 1987, The Automated Battlefield, 1987 and The Role and Control of Weapons, 1992.
Apocalypse Never: Forging the Path to a Nuclear Weapon-Free World - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Apocalypse Never illuminates why we must abolish nuclear weapons, how we can, and what the world will look like after we do. The twenty-first century has ushered in a world at the atomic edge. The pop culture days of Dr. Strangelove have been replaced by the all-too-real single day of 24. Tad Daley has written a book for the general reader about this most crucial of contemporary challenges. Apocalypse Never maintains that the abolition of nuclear weapons is both essential and achievable, and reveals in fine detail what we need to do--both governments and movements--to make it a reality. Daley insists that while global climate change poses the single greatest long-term peril to the human race, the nuclear challenge in its many incarnation--nuclear terror, nuclear accident, a nuclear crisis spinning out of control--poses the single most immediate peril. Daley launches a wholesale assault on the nuclear double standard--the notion that the United States permits itself thousands of these weapons but forbids others from aspiring to even on--insisting that it is militarily unnecessary, morally indefensible, and politically unsustainable. He conclusively repudiates the most frequent objection to nuclear disarmament, "the breakout scenario"--the possibility that after abolition someone might whip back the curtain, reveal a dozen nuclear warheads, and proceed to "rule the world." On the wings of a brand new era in American history, Apocalypse Never makes the case that a comprehensive nuclear policy agenda from President Obama, one that fully integrates nonproliferation with disarmament, can both eliminate immediate nuclear dangers and set us irreversibly on the road to abolition. In jargon-free language, Daley explores the possible verification measures, enforcement mechanisms, and governance structures of a nuclear weapon–free world. Most importantly, he decisively argues that universal nuclear disarmament is something we can transform from a utopian fantasy into a concrete political goal.
The Treaty of Pelindaba on the African Nuclear-weapon-free-zone - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When the world formally entered the nuclear weapons age in August 1945 with the launching by the United States of America of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,1 most of Africa was under colonialism. Since the imperial powers were also the Allied Powers on whose behalf the most destructive element of the atom was unleashed on Japan, its effect in hastening the end of the Second World War was the only immediate impression. The universal euphoria over the end of the war, however, soon gave way to great concern about the future consequences of the wider use of atomic weapons. The United Nations, which was established in order to avert a future world war, had elaborated its charter unaware of the new weapon.2 The effectiveness of the new Organization was hinged on the system of collective security, which would deter aggression and therefore maintain international peace and security. The appearance of the atomic weapon on the scene introduced a new situation which could render the system of collective security very difficult, if not impossible, to implement. The United Nations General Assembly was therefore obliged at its first meeting to give the highest priority to laying down principles for disarmament that had not been spelt out in the Charter.3 Thus, in the first resolution it adopted, the General Assembly established the Atomic Energy Commission, which was charged with making specific proposals for the elimination of atomic weapons and all other weapons of mass-destruction from national armaments.4
