International security and nuclear proliferation.
Nuclear proliferation • Nuclear proliferation is a hot-button issue in the 20th and 21st centuries • Nuclear Weapons = power • The membership in Nuclear Club is still too attractive
A concept of deterrence • definition: a bluff in “higher circles” • Deterrence was an inalienable feature of the Cold War System • A need of shift from deterrence to cooperation and interaction • A new challenge – extremist groups
A concept of deterrence (continue) • Extremists don’t respect the system of negotiations, they just work • A threat of possession NW by terrorists • As a consequence – a sensitization of violent methods of squaring the situation • A break in Antiterrorist Camp
Nuclear Club expansion • The concept of “Realpolitik” is living • Iraq and NW: US secret service bluffed • NPT-treaty is of great value • NW is a threat to the world, not only to the concrete state
Atomic power • Is there any alternative to atomic power today? • The most profitable power nowadays
Used Nuclear Fuel and Radio Waste Product • The issue of handling UNF • The problem of RWP (its accumulation) • Russia is going to be a “tip” of world NWP?
UNF and RWP • The problem of UNF accumulation must be solved on international level
An understanding of NW threat • The process of Nuclear proliferation must be controlled by international organizations • IAEA • NEA • others
Two ways of international relations development • Increasing the number of nuclear weapons means providing for national security • Interaction of states (concerning the issue of reducing NW) means providing for international security
