In a series of \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e articles, however, George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissinger, and Sam Nunn called on governments to rid the world of nuclear weapons, helping to put disarmament back into international security discussions. More recently, U.S. president Barack Obama, prominent U.S. congressional members of both political parties, and a number of influential foreign leaders have espoused the idea of a world free of nuclear weapons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTurning this vision into reality requires an understanding of the forces driving disarmament forward and those holding it back. \u003ci\u003eSlaying the Nuclear Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e provides in-depth, objective analysis of current nuclear disarmament dynamics. Examining the political, state-level factors that drive and stall progress, contributors highlight the challenges and opportunities faced by proponents of disarmament. These essays show that although conditions are favorable for significant reductions, numerous hurdles still exist. Contributors look at three categories of states: those that generate momentum for disarmament; those with policies that are problematic for disarmament; and those that actively hinder progress--whether openly, secretly, deliberately, or inadvertently. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNuclear deterrence was long credited with preventing war between the two major Cold War powers, but with the spread of nuclear technology, threats have shifted to other state powers and to nonstate groups. \u003ci\u003eSlaying the Nuclear Dragon\u003c\/i\u003e addresses an urgent need to examine nuclear disarmament in a realistic, nonideological manner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTanya Ogilvie-White (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e TANYA OGILVIE-WHITE is a senior lecturer in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and a consulting fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
