Power to the have-nots? The NPT and the limits of a treaty hijacked by a “power-over” model
The nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), its evolution over the past five decades, and the dissatisfaction of the non-nuclear states within it, can be analyzed by focusing on different understandings of power. Within the various concepts of power are claims which distinguish between what is known broadly as “power-over” and a more subtle form of influence, “power-to.” This article explores the history of the NPT, showing how the nuclear weapon…
No-first-use of nuclear weapons
Nuclear arms control and disarmament processes have stalled in recent years, and there is concern, especially among non-nuclear states, that the nuclear risk-reduction measures previously called for are not being met. One of the most important of these is the need for no first use (NFU) commitments to be given by all the nuclear weapon states (China and India have already done so.) The idea has been given recent impetus in the United States, espe…
Normalizing zero nuclear weapons
The nuclear age has come to be seen as “normal,” marked by a process of “nuclearism” whereby nuclear weapons and deterrence are seen as inevitable and acceptable elements of international security. Factors which have allowed this to flourish include the relative absence of humanitarian considerations, nuclear decision-making by a select few, and the unequal nature of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), where the P5 states have shaped the nuclear …

Security Politics in the Asia-Pacific
Asia is experiencing major changes in its security relations. This book brings together respected experts to assess both the theoretical and empirical dimensions of the Asian security debate.

Contributors to the volume offer diverse…

The future of the NPT1
Despite the 2005 NPT Review Conference ending problematically, there remains no real alternative to that regime for controlling the spread of nuclear weapons. Any replacement of the current regime would only compound existing problems and challenges. We cannot afford to live in a world where ‘more nuclear weapons are better’. To do so would be to avoid disarmament and create a divisive security environment. A better approach would be for the glob…
The utility of the human security agenda for policy‐makers
The idea of "human security" is gaining attention among policy‐makers and security analysts. Little scholarly attention has been given to the questions of why states accept (or reject) a human security agenda or how such an agenda is incorporated into policy practices. The article suggests that a human security approach is most likely to be applied when both humanitarian and national interests combine. Yet when states or organisations adopt a hum…
Justice beyond borders? Australia and the International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court (ICC) came into being on 1 July 2002. A four-person team opened an office in The Hague and will collect reports and allegations of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity until judges and a prosecutor are appointed towards the end of 2003. Although the court was heralded by many states and international lawyers as the most important positive development in international law since the formation of the Unit…
Nuclear Weapons as Obstacles to International Security
This article argues that nuclear weapons serve no useful purpose in military calculations; moreover, their continued retention invites the dangers of further proliferation and of accidental use. They are thus defined here as obstacles to, rather than as facilitators of, international security. Seven reasons are presented to support this contention, including an assessment of the moral implications and the strategic limitations of nuclear weapons.…

Warnings from Bosnia
The Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) of 21 November 1995 was able to secure a halt to hostilities between the warring Serb, Croat and Bosniac parties in Bosnia and Hercegovina. However, the plan that emerged from the peace negotiations - to create stability, restore human rights and build enduring peace in the devastated state - might well be judged a monumentally difficult task. It is now over four years since the signing of the agreement (known for…
The Canberra Commission
Despite its inauspicious start and virtual abandonment by the new Coalition government in Australia, the Canberra Commission on the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons continued to attract international attention in arms control and disarmament circles
Promoting an Agenda for Nuclear Weapons Elimination
This paper examines the role of the Canberra Commission in terms of consolidating and influencing the agenda on international negotiations towards the elimination of nuclear weapons. The Commission’s Report is significant for two main reasons. First, it represents a unique form of disarmament diplomacy by the Australian Government which combined the post‐Cold War international climate of security cooperation with the foreign policy aspirations of…
