The chapters document the increasing complexity of the global nuclear proliferation dynamic and the inability of the international community to come to terms with a rapidly changing strategic milieu. The future, in all likelihood, will be very different from the past, and the chapters in this volume develop a framework that aids a better understanding of the forces that will shape the nuclear proliferation debate in the years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I examines the major thematic issues underlying the contemporary discourse on nuclear proliferation. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II gives an overview of the evolving nuclear policies of the five established nuclear powers: the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and the People's Republic of China. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III looks at the three de facto nuclear states: India, Pakistan and Israel. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart IV examines two `problem states' in the proliferation matrix today: Iran and North Korea. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart V sheds light on an important issue often ignored during discussions of nuclear proliferation – cases where states have made a deliberate policy choice of either renouncing their nuclear weapons programme, or have decided to remain a threshold state.
