International security and nuclear proliferation.

Nuclear proliferation Nuclear proliferation is a hot-button issue in the 20th and 21st centuries Nuclear Weapons = power The membership in Nuclear Club is still too attractive

A concept of deterrence definition: a bluff in “higher circles” Deterrence was an inalienable feature of the Cold War System A need of shift from deterrence to cooperation and interaction A new challenge – extremist groups

A concept of deterrence (continue) Extremists don’t respect the system of negotiations, they just work A threat of possession NW by terrorists As a consequence – a sensitization of violent methods of squaring the situation A break in Antiterrorist Camp

Nuclear Club expansion The concept of “Realpolitik” is living Iraq and NW: US secret service bluffed NPT-treaty is of great value NW is a threat to the world, not only to the concrete state

Atomic power Is there any alternative to atomic power today? The most profitable power nowadays

Used Nuclear Fuel and Radio Waste Product The issue of handling UNF The problem of RWP (its accumulation) Russia is going to be a “tip” of world NWP?

UNF and RWP The problem of UNF accumulation must be solved on international level

An understanding of NW threat The process of Nuclear proliferation must be controlled by international organizations IAEA NEA others

Two ways of international relations development Increasing the number of nuclear weapons means providing for national security Interaction of states (concerning the issue of reducing NW) means providing for international security
