Book description
International relations specialist Andy Butfoy looks at the reality of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, providing a readable overview of who has these weapons, what they are capable of, and where they are. He describes the main pillars of the international non-proliferation regime and the political foundations that underpin these arrangements.

Written in clear, accessible language, the book explores how the international community should deal with non-signatories and cheaters, the difficulty of enforcing international rules, the need to tighten-up inspections, and the impact of U.S. unilateralism.
