The nuclear paradox: deterrence and disarmament at once
Original: The nuclear paradox: Why the world wants both deterrence and disarmament
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists examines what it calls the nuclear paradox: states pursuing disarmament in principle while relying on nuclear deterrence for security. With arms control treaties under strain and modernisation programmes advancing in major powers, the tension between wanting a world free of nuclear weapons and depending on them for safety is drawing renewed attention.
Why now: Ongoing geopolitical tensions and stalled arms control have revived debate over whether nuclear weapons deter war or endanger it.
