Yadernoe Nerasprostranenie (Nuclear Nonproliferation)

Cover image Yadernoe Nerasprostranenie (Nuclear Nonproliferation) is a college-level Russian-language textbook, which covers all aspects of the international regime involved with the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. This two-volume second edition includes a thoroughly revised and updated first edition as the first volume (edited by Vladimir Orlov, Director of the PIR Center and Nikolai Sokov, a Senior Research Associate at CNS) and a new, second volume, which includes collection of key documents relating to nuclear nonproliferation (assembled by Ildar Akhtamzyan, an associate professor at Moscow State Institute (University) of International Relations). Published in 2000, the first, one-volume edition of the textbook quickly became a best-selling text in the field.

The two-volume textbook written by a panel of experts covers every possible aspect of the nuclear nonproliferation regime: the history of the development of nuclear weapons and the technical aspects of the nonproliferation regime; a discussion of the origins of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the international organizations related to it; national nuclear programs, including those of threshold states; the history of bilateral and multilateral arms control negotiations; an explanation of export controls; and new challenges to the nonproliferation regime, including those that have emerged after September 11, 2001. The second volume contains all relevant international documents, starting with the NPT and including Russian laws and decrees.

The textbook is intended primarily for Russian-speaking college students, as well as students in master and doctoral programs. At the same time, it is so comprehensive that it can be used by experts within the government or in non-governmental organizations.
