Designing Denuclearization: The Quest for Secure Non-Nuclear Futures. Bruce D. Larkin.
GC.DD has released [3 November 2004] the preliminary version of Designing Denuclearization: The Quest for Secure Non-Nuclear Futures. The author, Bruce D. Larkin, is GC.DD Convenor and Director of Studies.
A book-length work (xxxvi + 423 pp.), Designing Denuclearization posits denuclearization design as a policy practice to create reasoned alternatives to the nuclearist status quo. The author explores and assesses the difficulties in reaching and sustaining a global zero nuclear weapons regime.
