The world is entering a dangerous third nuclear age that will be characterized by competition among several great powers who are expanding and modernizing their nuclear arsenals. The United States is conceptually unprepared to face this potentially unstable new era of nuclear multipolarity. The lessons of negotiating arms control in the first nuclear age during the Cold War have faded from memory, and the nonproliferation and disarmament instruments that were developed under post-Cold War US hegemony in the second nuclear age are ill suited to the future. The author proposes relearning, reviving, and adapting classic arms control theory and negotiating practices to steer the world away from dangerous and destabilizing nuclear arms races. He surveys the history of nuclear arms control efforts, revisits what we know about the dynamics of nuclear weapons from strategic theory, and interviews US defense practitioners to glean insights about both the past and the emerging era.

Arms control and disarmament are key elements in promoting international peace and security. In recent decades the scope of disarmament law has broadened from a traditional focus on weapons of mass destruction to encompass conventional weapons. Stuart Casey-Maslen provides a concise and objective appraisal of international arms control and disarmament law. In seven concise chapters, he traces the history of arms control and disarmament in the modern era, addressing the issues surrounding biological and chemical weapons, the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and conventional weapon and arms transfer regimes. He concludes by considering how, in order to remain relevant, disarmament and arms control will need to adapt to rapidly evolving technologies that defy traditional means of verification and control.

The greatest unacknowledged diplomatic achievement of the Cold War was the absence of mushroom clouds. Deterrence alone was too dangerous to succeed; it needed arms control to prevent nuclear warfare. So, U.S. and Soviet leaders ventured into the unknown to devise guardrails for nuclear arms control and to treat the Bomb differently than other weapons. Against the odds, they succeeded. Nuclear weapons have not been used in warfare for three quarters of a century. This book is the first in-depth history of how the nuclear peace was won by complementing deterrence with reassurance, and then jeopardized by discarding arms control after the Cold War ended.

The author delivers in this book an invaluable insider's account of the negotiations between the US and Russian delegations in Geneva in 2009 and 2010. It also examines the crucially important discussions about the treaty between President Barack Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev, and it describes the tough negotiations Gottemoeller and her team went through to gain the support of the Senate for the treaty. And importantly, at a time when the US Congress stands deeply divided, it tells the story of how, in a previous time of partisan division, Republicans and Democrats came together to ratify a treaty to safeguard the future of all Americans.
