Nuclear Weapons Counterproliferation: A New Grand Bargain proposes a new legal and institutional framework for counterproliferation of nuclear weapons. Its proposal is designed to remedy the widely acknowledged breakdown of the architecture of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty on which we can no longer rely for global nuclear security. First, Nuclear Weapons Counterproliferation defines the distinctively dangerous character of contemporary nuclear risk and explains why the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty no longer provides a viable foundation for counterproliferation of nuclear weapons. It then sets out the reforms needed in order to limit the radical increase in availability, for rogue governments and terrorists, of nuclear weapons related material and technology. Garvey proposes a new counterproliferation architecture, to be built on presently available scientific, legal, and institutional resources, which could achieve a critical reduction of nuclear risk and an expanded deterrence. Guiding principles for establishing this new architecture are formulated, including, most importantly, the principal mechanism for implementation, a United Nations Security Council Counterproliferation Resolution applying equally for all states. This book presents what may be our best opportunity to secure a profoundly more effective global nuclear security and counter the world's current course to a catastrophic nuclear detonation.

Reviews for Nuclear Weapons Counterproliferation: A New Grand Bargain

A new vision for the counterproliferation of nuclear weapons may be our most critical national security need. In lucid prose, Professor Garvey substantiates why counter-proliferation on its present course is failing. He then presents a new approach using an instrument at hand. He explains that the current evolution of Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, if seized to realize a new path, may offer the best - and perhaps the only - means to counter the spread of nuclear weapons. His New Grand Bargain should be studied with care. --Harold Palmer Smith Jr., Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB), formerly Assistant to the United States Secretary of Defense, and responsible for implementation of the Nunn-Lugar Program, removing the nuclear weapons of the former Soviet Union.
