Most of the chapters were originally published in a special issue of \u003ci\u003eGlobal Change, Peace and Security\u003c\/i\u003e, but the book also includes the special section articles on the treaty in the \u003ci\u003eJournal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament\u003c\/i\u003e, and a new introduction and concl\u003c\/p\u003e. \u003cp\u003eRising concern over the increasing threat of nuclear war impelled the 2017 United Nations (UN) negotiations and adoption by 122 UN member states of a Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. The Treaty seeks to ban nuclear weapons globally in the same way chemical and biological weapons have already been prohibited. This book provides the first in-depth comprehensive analysis of the implications and possibilities of the new treaty, drawing on the insights of international relations, international laws, and disarmament experts and specialists from Europe, America, the Asia-Pacific, and the UN. In a context where existing nuclear weapon states have so far declined to be party to the new treaty, the book examines not only its emergence and significance but also the prospects and possibilities for its implementation, the challenges associated with verifying the new agreement, the role of both civil society and governments, and the treaty’s wider implications in addressing regional and global nuclear threats. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eGlobal Change, Peace \u0026amp; Security\u003c\/em\u003e but additionally includes the special section articles on the treaty in the \u003ci\u003eJournal for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40810217504865,"sku":"9780367583460","price":47.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/5503174aec1247ebdedbc95357cb0309.png?v=1682674706","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367583460-2017-nuclear-ban-treaty","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
