However, the role of these scientists and knowledgeable professionals in nuclear policy formulation is poorly understood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThoroughly documented and making excellent use of source material, \u003cem\u003ePolitics and the Bomb\u003c\/em\u003e provides refreshingly new empirical evidence and theoretical analysis of the importance of scientists and experts behind the creation of new non-proliferation agreements. Simply not another book on nuclear proliferation, Sara Z. Kutchesfahani explores the differences in the emergence, composition, and influence mechanisms of the epistemic communities behind the nuclear non-proliferation policy formulation in Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials (ABACC) and the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program. In doing so she eloquently demonstrates how the role of these non-proliferation experts lead to the possibility of creating more effective non-proliferation policies in the future and hints at the need to sustain non-proliferation epistemic communities in all countries that can provide input to the global proliferation problem until it is solved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45237089796247,"sku":"9781138944701","price":3722.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138944701.webp?v=1769215575","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/politics-and-the-bomb-the-role-of-experts-in-the-creation-of-cooperative-nuclear-non-proliferation-agreements-9781138944701","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
