A Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East: Problems and Prospects: Contributions in Drama and Theatre Studies,, cartea 65

Autor Mahmoud Karem
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 1988

Karem is eminently qualified to write on the role of Nuclear Weapons-Free Zones (NWFZs) in the processes of averting nuclear weapons proliferation, arresting the nuclear arms race, and eliminating the scourge of nuclear weapons. Karem's well-written, extensively documented, and cogent argument for a NWFZ in the Middle East reflects his scholarly and professional expertise on the technical and political issues surrounding such a proposal. . . . This is an important and much needed contribution to the literature on peace studies, arms limitation, disarmament, and world order studies. It should be part of every library collection. "Choice"

It is clear that the proliferation of nuclear weapons among the nations of the Middle East would pose grave problems for that politically explosive region and throughout the world. In this thoughful study, Dr Karem examines the possiblility of avoiding such a situation and reducing tensions generally by implementing United Nations resolutions calling for the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East. Arguing that the NWFZ approach is a viable solution, he suggests how to implement it and how diplomatic obstacles facing such an agreement can be overcome.

Recenzii

«As a former fellow of the Byrnes International Center at the University of South Carolina and Egypt's representative to the UN disarmament Committee since 1977, Karem is eminently qualified to write on the role of Nuclear Weapons-Free Zones (NWFZs) in the processes of averting nuclear weapons proliferation, arresting the nuclear arms race, and eliminating the courage of nuclear weapons. Karem's well-written, extensively documented, and cogent argument for a NWFZ in the Middle East reflects his scholarly and professional expertise on the technical and political issues surrounding such a proposal. In addition two full chapters are devoted to other inititatives to establish NWFZs (e.g., the 1967 Tlatelolco Treaty on Latin America), their relative successes and failures, and their applicability to creating a NWFZ in the Middle East. Karem also explores in detail the unique aspects of the Middle East with emphasis on Israel's nuclear weapons policy. The highly specific revelations of Israel's existing nuclear arsenal published in The Sunday Times (London) have more than substantiated Karem's careful speculations. A final chapter offers concrete policy prescriptions, recommendations, and options on how to implement a NWFZ in the Middle East. This is an important and much needed contribution to the literature on peace studies, arms limitation, disarmament, and world order studies.“”Choice
