About Book

This book explores the concept of non-nuclear peace and challenges the traditional notion that nuclear deterrence is necessary for global stability. It traces the evolution of anti-nuclear discourse, highlighting how stigmatization and criticism of nuclear weapons have gained traction in recent years. The book is divided into three sections: 1. Historical and Technological Critiques of nuclear peace, addressing the perceptions and dangers of nuclear weapons. 2. The Humanitarian Initiative and the Nuclear Ban Treaty (2017), examining its implications for global security. 3. Practical and Institutional Challenges in establishing a world free of nuclear weapons. Through contributions from leading scholars, the book provides a critical analysis of nuclear disarmament efforts and explores whether a stable peace without nuclear weapons is possible. It will appeal to researchers in peace studies, international relations, and security policy.
