It offers a profound exploration of diverse perspectives and positions held by various actors, encompassing both elite viewpoints and public opinion, and uncovers the underlying political assumptions that shape these viewpoints. By critically examining the lack of detailed analysis regarding the significance of nuclear disarmament for the domestic political orders of NWS, the book endeavors to develop a more democratic approach to disarmament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing from a wide range of legal, political, and technical literatures, as well as orthodox and critical theory, the book conducts a rigorous examination of different approaches to and theories of disarmament. It builds upon previous discussions on nuclear possession, restraint, arms control, and disarmament, encompassing both nuclear possessor and non-possessor states. This analysis identifies valuable insights into how NWS disarmament can be advanced, contributing to ongoing theoretical debates concerning the interplay between domestic politics and states' international behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its multidisciplinary approach, this book appeals to scholars and students across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including history, politics, international relations, security studies, military history, war studies, peace studies, conflict, democracy, and global governance. It provides valuable insights and perspectives that will enrich the understanding of these critical issues and contribute to the pursuit of a safer and more peaceful world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 378g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 234 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367743765\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tim Street","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104831303930,"sku":"9780367743765","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1676644047627_book.jpg?v=1676914249","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-politics-of-nuclear-disarmament-obstacles-to-and-opportunities-for-eliminating-nuclear-weapons-9780367743765","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
