Nuclear Dynamics in a Changing World

This chapter examines the complexities of nuclear weapons and treaties, particularly the challenges faced by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) amidst rising geopolitical tensions involving countries like Iran and North Korea. The discussion highlights the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in nuclear oversight and explores the implications of nuclear deterrence, particularly in the context of the UK's cautious approach compared to more aggressive doctrines of other nations. The chapter concludes with reflections on the global security landscape and the urgent need for a united framework to address nuclear proliferation concerns.
