The nuclear paradox: wanting both deterrence and disarmament

Original: The nuclear paradox: Why the world wants both deterrence and disarmament

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists examines the contradiction at the heart of global nuclear policy: states rely on nuclear deterrence for security while officially supporting disarmament. The piece explores why governments continue to modernise arsenals and cite deterrence as vital, even as they pledge, in principle, to work toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

Why now: Renewed focus on nuclear risk amid global tensions keeps the tension between deterrence and disarmament in debate.
