Sanctions for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation

<p>This book examines the interplay between sanctions and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.</p><p>The volume aims to tackle three separate but closely intertwined issues:</p><ol> <li>It aims to revisit the debate on and deconstruct the concept of sanctions; to provide a working theoretical framework; to differentiate between positive sanctions (or incentives or carrots) and negative sanctions; to identify the actors who may initiate sanctions (i.e. states regional and/or international organizations); to ascertain the legality and legitimacy of such sanctions taking place; to problematize and discuss the utility of sanctions; and so on.</li> <li>It aims to disentangle the concepts of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation particularly in light of the most recent geopolitical global shifts on nuclear powers-interplay taking place in the background of the war in Ukraine and rising tensions in Southeast Asia and so on.</li> <li>Finally it aims to conjoin the cause-and-effect cases between the application of sanctions on the one hand and the decision by states to pursue nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation on the other. By doing so the volume helps to update and stimulate the academic and policy debate on the inter-relation between sanctions and nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.</li> </ol><p>This book will be of much interest to students of nuclear non-proliferation economic sanctions security studies and International Relations.</p>
