Beyond arms control: challenges and choices for nuclear disarmament is a
collaborative work of 25 non-governmental researchers and activists who
critically examine the mainstream discourse of nuclear weapons. The book
explores some of the most important challenges that governments and
civil society will face at the 2010 NPT Review Conference and beyond,
highlighting the prospects and pitfalls for nuclear disarmament in the
current world order. Throughout, the authors demonstrate that nuclear
disarmament must be pursued in the context of a broader movement for
social and economic justice and equality.

Abolishing nuclear weapons without affecting change in the systems that
sustain, promote, and in fact require the existence of nuclear weapons
to survive is impossible. The military utility of nuclear weapons may be
diminishing in the current world order, but nuclear weapons and nuclear
power are still useful to the economic and political elite of many
countries and will thus be pursued by others seeking the same elite
status. The first step on this road is distinguishing the rhetoric from
the reality and creating a new discourse for nuclear disarmament that
promotes true human security.
