Reykjavik revisited : steps toward a world free of nuclear weapons : complete report of the 2007 Hoover Institution conference

Drawn from presentations made at the Hoover Institution's October 2007 conference, this collection of essays examines the practical steps necessary to address the current security challenges of nuclear weapons and to move toward the Reykjavik goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons. The distinguished group of contributors includes former officials of the past six administrations—Republican and Democratic—along with senior scholar and scientific experts on nuclear issues. "The essays in Reykjavik Revisited essentially address three topics. They address specific actions to reduce and redeploy nuclear weapons en route to zero and key challenges to implementing them. The second concern addressed is preventing the proliferation of new nuclear weapons capabilities and the growth of new dangers, while at the same time the number of weapons is being reduced. The third category, a diplomatic offensive, addresses the diplomatic challenge to turn the effort of achieving a world free of nuclear weapons into a joint international effort at the highest levels of government. The appendixes include the conference agenda, a list of participants, and the articles that appeared in the Wall Street Journal on January 4, 2007, "A World Free of Nuclear Weapons" and on January 15, 2008, "Toward a Nuclear-Free World.""--Jacket Annotation Drawn from presentations made at the Hoover Institutions October 2007 conference, this collection of essays examines the practical steps necessary to address the current security challenges of nuclear weapons and to move toward the Reykjavik goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons.
