商品描述
Scholars and practitioners usually regard the nuclear non-proliferation regime as composed of two categories of countries - those with and those without nuclear weapons. The latter are regarded as the core designers of that regime, while the former have their prominence in shaping non-proliferation institutions eclipsed or ignored. This book proposes to go beyond that duality by focusing on a usually neglected group of states: latent nuclear countries. Those are the countries that possess advanced nuclear capabilities but no weapons.
This book shows that latent nuclear countries not only participate actively in non-proliferation institutions but also promote the creation of new frameworks highlighting concerns and perspectives different from their nuclear-weapon and nuclear-free counterparts. The author makes this argument through an intricate combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, with an in-depth analysis of Brazil and Germany as sources for case studies. He makes the case to understand the nuclear non-proliferation regime as an inclusive and refined approach that takes into consideration countries' nuclear capabilities, identities, role conceptions, and domestic structures.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
學者和實務工作者通常將核不擴散體系視為由兩類國家組成——擁有核武器的國家和沒有核武器的國家。後者被視為該體系的核心設計者,而前者在塑造不擴散機構方面的突出地位則被忽視或淡化。本書提議超越這種二元對立,專注於一個通常被忽略的國家群體:潛在核國。這些國家擁有先進的核能力,但並不擁有核武器。
本書顯示,潛在核國不僅積極參與不擴散機構,還促進創建新的框架,突顯與擁有核武器和無核國家不同的關切和觀點。作者通過複雜的定量和定性方法結合,深入分析巴西和德國作為案例研究的來源,提出這一論點。他主張應將核不擴散體系理解為一種包容且精緻的方法,考慮到各國的核能力、身份、角色概念和內部結構。
