Abstract
This chapter provides an outline of what this book intends to accomplish, including brief descriptions of each chapter’s objectives and arguments. It states that national security–based realism, economic interdependence–based liberalism and nuclear proliferation–based moral and social constructivism work together in an interconnected framework to account for nuclear arms acquisition/retention as well as full or attempted nuclear disarmament decisions of Belarus, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Ukraine and North Korea. Additionally, the framework also applies to the nuclear policy of Iran.
