About this book
This volume is a collection of contributions by world-leading experts in the nuclear field who participated in the educational activities of the International School on Disarmament and Research on Conflicts (ISODARCO). It features some of most prominent scholars and practitioners who contributed in fundamental ways to shaping policies, strategies, theories, scholarly studies, and debates in the field of non-proliferation and disarmament. On the occasion of ISODARCO's 50th anniversary this book revisits a selection of contributions that capture the pressing issues during the five decades of continuous engagement in disarmament and non-proliferation education.
Reviews
“Arms Control and Disarmament makes a specific, well-documented, and fascinating point about arms control and about nuclear weaponry policies and challenges more broadly. … This book should be in all university libraries. While mainly focused on US and Soviet/Russian history, the broad-ranging and still relevant ideas allow the extension of the lessons learned to more current issues. Each essay is a masterpiece that deserves study. Building such a collection in one volume makes this a ‘must-have’ book.” (Sebastien Bleunven,H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, networks.h-net.org, October, 2019)
