British Nuclear Weapons and the Test Ban 1954-73
Author: John R. WalkerPublisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9781409411123
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Focusing on a key twenty year period, this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach, it examines the nature of defence planning, Anglo-American relationships, the efficacy of British diplomacy and UK contributions to arms control and disarmament. The appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against the countervailing international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy, history of science, arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations, or who is looking for background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament.

Book Description
In 1962 Dean Acheson famously described Britain as having lost an Empire but not yet found a role. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the realms of nuclear weapons. An increasingly marginal world power, successive post-war British governments felt that an independent nuclear deterrent was essential if the country was to remain at the top table of world diplomacy. Focusing on a key twenty-year period, this study explores Britain's role in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty between 1954 and 1973. Taking a broadly chronological approach, it examines the nature of defence planning, the scientific goals that nuclear tests were designed to secure, Anglo-American relationships, the efficacy of British diplomacy and its contribution to arms control and disarmament. A key theme of the study is to show how the UK managed to balance the conflicting pressures created by its determination to remain a credible nuclear power whilst wanting to pursue disarmament objectives, and how these pressures shifted over the period in question. Based on a wealth of primary sources this book opens up the largely ignored subject of the impact of arms control on the UK nuclear weapons programme. Its appraisal of the relationship between the requirements and developments of the UK nuclear weapons programme against international and domestic pressures for a test ban treaty will be of interest to anyone studying post-war British defence and foreign policy, history of science, arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation and international relations. It also provides important background information on current events involving nuclear proliferation and disarmament.

Book Description
Cette etude, completee d'une bibliographie, sur les efforts faits par les Nations Unies dans le domaine du desarmement est destinee a combler une lacune. En effet, malgre toute la documentation sur le travail des Nations Unies a cet egard, on ne trouve aucun resume objectif des propositions des differentes nations et des conclusions des deliberations qui se poursuivent depuis la creation des Nations Unies en 1945. En septembre 1956, l'Assemblee pleniere de la Federation Mondiale des Associations pour les Nations Unies adopta une resolution priant le Comite executif "d'examiner la possibilite de favoriser plus largement l'information et l'edu cation et de provoquer des etudes plus approfondies et des reunions d'etudes sur les differents aspects du probleme du desarmement". Pendant la periode 1956/57, le Comite executif accepta qu'une etude, completee par une biblio graphie, soit publiee sur cette question et M. Yves Collart, Assistant du Directeur de l'Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales de Geneve fut charge de la preparer. Cette etude a ete faite par M. COllart selon les directives generales de la Federation Mondiale des Associations pour les Nations Unies qui desirait notamment que les faits soient presentes de maniere aussi objective que possible. La respon sabilite de ce texte incombe a son auteur et non a la Federa tion. Les membres du Comite executif de la Federation furent neanmoins invites a faire par ecrit leurs remarques sur le premier projet de cette etude et M. Collart a tenu compte de leurs commentaires en redigeant le texte final.
