The Midlife Crisis of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty

The Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) has been the principle legal barrier to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons for the past 45 years. Though there have been many challenges over the years, most would agree it has been largely successful. However, is it suffering a mid-life crisis? Multiple issues are putting considerable strain on the treaty and this book explores those issues and offers possible solutions to ensure the NPT will be effective for many years to come.
