Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime: success or failure? Book Review: Jeffrey M. Kaplow. Signing Away the Bomb: The Surprising Success of the Nonproliferation Regime (2022) (H-Diplo)

 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime: success or failure?

Book ReviewJeffrey M. Kaplow. Signing Away the Bomb: The Surprising Success of the Nonproliferation Regime (2022)

 

Excerpt

NPT, which has now passed its 50th anniversary, has 191 states parties, more than any other arms control treaty. Five states that had already developed nuclear weapons (the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and China) were allowed to join the NPT as nuclear weapon statesall other members had to join as non-nuclear weapon states, meaning they legally foreswore the option of getting the bomb when they signed the treaty. Only five states are not members: India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, and South SudanThe first four have nuclear arsenals but cannot legally be recognized under the NPT as nuclear weapon states, so they remain outside the treaty (North Korea was a signatory but withdrew a few years before it conducted its first nuclear test); South Sudan became independent relatively recently and its non-membership is not regarded as a signal of potential interest in a nuclear program.”
