Arms Control and Disarmament

Few volumes on nuclear weapons and nuclear policy can match the quality of the ISODARCO 50th Anniversary collection, which excels in the authors' thoughtfulness and the range and significance of the issues they clarify.- Bruce D. Larkin, Emeritus Professor of Politics, University of California at Santa Cruz, USA  This interesting volume brings together a stellar cast of international experts on nuclear policy and arms control.  Their contributions echo the history of the nuclear age over more than five decades and display the evolution of thinking about the dangers and the imperatives associated with nuclear weapons.  This collection also reflects the unique role that ISODARCO has played in the field for more than half a century.- Steven E. Miller, Director, International Security Program, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School  This collection of essays featuring many of the leading thinkers on nuclear disarmament, arms control and verification should be essential reading for both practitioners and researchers in the field.- Tariq Rauf, former Head of Verification and Security Policy Coordination, International Atomic Energy AgencyThis volume is a collection of contributions by world-leading experts in the nuclear field who participated in the educational activities of the International School on Disarmament and Research on Conflicts (ISODARCO).
