A concise and authoritative analysis of nuclear weapon proliferation in the post-Cold War era, examining how nuclear capabilities spread—or could spread—to states beyond the established nuclear powers. Frank Barnaby evaluates the links between peaceful nuclear programmes and military applications, the technical and political components of nuclear systems, and detailed case studies of countries with existing or emerging nuclear capabilities (including India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea). The book also discusses the risks of nuclear dissemination to non-state actors and evaluates methods for controlling and preventing further proliferation.
