Leading analysts have predicted for decades that nuclear weapons would help pacify international politics. The core notion is that countries protected by these fearsome weapons can stop competing so intensely with their adversaries: they can end their arms races, scale back their alliances, and stop jockeying for strategic territory. But rarely have theory and practice been so opposed. Why do international relations in the nuclear age remain so competitive? Indeed, why are today's major geopolitical rivalries intensifying?
In The Myth of the Nuclear Revolution, Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press tackle the central puzzle of the nuclear age: the persistence of intense geopolitical competition in the shadow of nuclear weapons. They explain why the Cold War superpowers raced so feverishly against each other; why the creation of mutual assured destruction does not ensure peace; and why the rapid technological changes of the 21st century will weaken deterrence in critical hotspots around the world.
By explaining how the nuclear revolution falls short, Lieber and Press discover answers to the most pressing questions about deterrence in the coming decades: how much capability is required for a reliable nuclear deterrent, how conventional conflicts may become nuclear wars, and how great care is required now to prevent new technology from ushering in an age of nuclear instability.

TPNW - Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, entered into effect in January 2021, 90 days following the 50th ratification of the Treaty. A substantial majority of the world's countries voted in favour of the Treaty in the United Nations General Assembly.
This book presents and discusses the Treaty. Its sister book 'Nuclear Weapons and International Law (3rd edition), NWIL3, could have been updated to include material following the Treaty entry into force but that would have made an already substantial book, even larger. It was decided to issue a much smaller stand-alone book, that could contain all key points in a less expensive book.
The chapters of the book provide compact discussions of a number of essential topics. It starts with a history of the journey from the birth of the bomb in the late 1930s-early 1940s to the first signings of TPNW in 2017. This history includes the intimates relationship between the UK and USA starting with British participation in the Manhattan Project right through to today. Another Chapter shows how nuclear weapons have been unlawful under international law since the beginning and that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unlawful. In this sense TPNW can be seen as a codifying treaty given the already unlawfulness of nuclear weapons under several treaties and customary international law; as found by the International Court of Justice who failed to identify any circumstances under which the use of nuclear weapons would undoubtedly be lawful. The nuclear weapons states are not happy about TPNW; they prefer the cosy status quo set up by the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty of which they are all in material breach because of their failure to negotiate in good faith for multilateral nuclear disarmament. During the negotiations for TPNW and following its entry into force their main argument was that TPNW would undermine the NPT. This book discusses that, shows how the nuclear weapons states have failed to provide any logical or coherent rationale as to how TPNW could undermine the NPT, and goes on to show the opposite; TPNW complements and reinforces the NPT; they sit side-by-side very comfortably. Implementation of TPNW requires domestic legislation; a 1987 New Zealand Act is presented as an example of how that can be done. The book includes a discussion of how the legal framework in the world would benefit from a Nuclear Weapons Convention. There is a UK case study of its nuclear weapons policy, including consideration of the March 2021 UK decision to increase its ceiling on the number of nuclear warheads. The book explains why that UK Integrated Review is a material breach of the NPT and could be reckless in damaging the current NPT regime. The case study refers to the works of two ex-Royal Navy commanders who have played senior roles in the UKs nuclear weapons deployments and show how UK security can be obtained more effectively without nuclear weapons.
The book contains several radical and unorthodox positions such as: Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unlawful and there was no 'military necessity' for their use; the nuclear weapons states are all in material breach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty; the Nuclear Weapons States are the largest terrorist organizations on the planet; all individuals connected with nuclear weapons need to be identified for having potential international criminal liability; nuclear deterrence is unlawful; the UK Integrated Review 2021 is unlawful and reckless; nuclear reactors should be made unlawful; and other points; we need a new TPNWI Treaty for individuals to sign up to.
To some people, TPNW is the beginning of the end of nuclear weapons. The book provides ideas for civil society, diplomats, governments, and others to move forward after TPNW.

Описание: International law imposes on states a duty to prohibit `advocacy of religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination or violence`. What speech acts or publications fall under this offence? How do judges ascertain such `incitement` has been committed?

Between 1920 and 1933 the issue of prohibition proved to be the greatest challenge to Canada-U.S. relations. When the United States adopted national prohibition in 1920—ironically, just as Canada was abandoning its own national and provincial experiments with prohibition—U.S. tourists and dollars promptly headed north and Canadian liquor went south. Despite repeated efforts, Americans were unable to secure Canadian assistance in enforcing American prohibition laws until 1930.
Bootleggers and Borders explores the important but surprisingly overlooked Canada-U.S. relationship in the Pacific Northwest during Prohibition. Stephen T. Moore maintains that the reason Prohibition created such an intractable problem lies not with the relationship between Ottawa and Washington DC but with everyday operations experienced at the border level, where foreign relations are conducted according to different methods and rules and are informed by different assumptions, identities, and cultural values.
Through an exploration of border relations in the Pacific Northwest, Bootleggers and Borders offers insight into not only the Canada-U.S. relationship but also the subtle but important differences in the tactics Canadians and Americans employed when confronted with similar problems. Ultimately, British Columbia’s method of addressing temperance provided the United States with a model that would become central to its abandonment and replacement of Prohibition.
A history of opium's dramatic fall from favor in colonial Southeast Asia
During the late nineteenth century, opium was integral to European colonial rule in Southeast Asia. The taxation of opium was a major source of revenue for British and French colonizers, who also derived moral authority from imposing a tax on a peculiar vice of their non-European subjects. Yet between the 1890s and the 1940s, colonial states began to ban opium, upsetting the very foundations of overseas rule--how? Empires of Vice traces the history of this dramatic reversal, revealing the colonial legacies that set the stage for the region's drug problems today.
Diana Kim challenges the conventional wisdom about opium prohibition--that it came about because doctors awoke to the dangers of drug addiction or that it was a response to moral crusaders--uncovering a more complex story deep within the colonial bureaucracy. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence across Southeast Asia and Europe, she shows how prohibition was made possible by the pivotal contributions of seemingly weak bureaucratic officials. Comparing British and French experiences across today's Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam, Kim examines how the everyday work of local administrators delegitimized the taxing of opium, which in turn made major anti-opium reforms possible.
Empires of Vice reveals the inner life of colonial bureaucracy, illuminating how European rulers reconfigured their opium-entangled foundations of governance and shaped Southeast Asia's political economy of illicit drugs and the punitive state.
