Nuclear Power Struggles (eBook, PDF)

Industrial Competition and Proliferation Control

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1983, Nuclear Power Struggles (now with a new preface by the authors) analyses the strains within the nuclear reactor industry and assesses the scale and location of future markets. It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of leading exporters and considers what can be done to avoid a deterioration of trade behaviour.

The book examines the merits of alternative approaches to nuclear trade, from political and strategic standpoints. It highlights policy differences between suppliers, and especially between the USA and Europe, which threaten to place further stress on transatlantic relations. It addresses the problems of moving from a non-proliferation regime dominated by the USA and USSR to one in which responsibilities must be more widely shared and focuses on the crucial role of France.

This volume will be an essential reading for policymakers in the government, industry and international organisations; and for all those concerned with the vital issues of nuclear proliferation and industrial adjustment.
