Nuclear Weapons in a Transformed World

Focusing on the future of nuclear weapons, this collection of essays explores the concept of virtual nuclear arsenals, a solution proposed by Jonathan Schell. By advocating for the removal of nuclear weapons from operational status, the contributors—leading scholars in arms control and international relations—provide a comprehensive assessment of this innovative approach. The book stimulates critical discussion on a transformative idea that could significantly influence arms control and U.S. policy in the twenty-first century.
