Nuclear Weapons: The State of Play

by Ramesh Thakur (Editor)

The report documents small pockets of progress in each of the four areas it addresses - of nuclear disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation, nuclear security and security risks associated with peaceful uses of nuclear energy - significant in some cases, but nowhere on the scale and at the speed necessary to walk back from the nuclear precipice on which the world is precariously poised. ...The goal of Nuclear The State of Play, and its successor reports, is not to criticise and castigate, but to advance helpfully the global nuclear policy debate by providing an authoritative analysis and advocacy tool for governments, organisations and individuals committed to achieving a safer and saner nuclear-weapon-free world.
