Changing Dimensions of Proliferation Policy.
Abstract
Since India's detonation of a nuclear-explosive device, increasing attention has focused upon policies for retarding the future spread of nuclear weapons. Part 1 of this report, after briefly sketching the reasons for believing that additional proliferation could occur and reviewing the probable dangers of a more proliferated world, examines such policies. Means of reinforcing technical constraints upon prospective proliferators and measures for influencing their disincentives and incentives for 'going nuclear' are identified and evaluated. Possible responses to future dramatic proliferation events or turning-points, events that could influence significantly the scope, pace, and characteristics of possible future proliferation, also are discussed.
