Beschreibung:
This volume includes a representative selection of Sidney Drell's recent writings and speeches (circa 1993 to the present) on public policy issues with substantial scientific components. Most deal with national security, nuclear weapons, and arms control, reflecting the author's personal involvement in such issues dating back to 1960. Today, 15 years after the demise of the Soviet Union, the gravest danger presented by nuclear weapons is the spread of advanced technology that may result in the proliferation of nuclear weapons to hostile governments and terrorists, not constrained by accepted norms of civilized behavior. Our challenge now is to prevent this from happening. At the same time, now that the Soviet Union no longer exists, we should aggressively pursue the opportunity to escape from the nuclear deterrence trap.
My Involvement as a Scientist Working on Issues of National Security and Views on Scientists' Responsibilities and Ethical Dilemmas; Issues Coming to the Fore Immediately Following the Collapse of the Soviet Union and the End of the Cold War; At the End of the 20th Century: The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Emergency of the New Terror of Biological and Chemical Weapons; New Challenges in the 21st Century: Escaping the Nuclear Deterrence Trap and Facing Terrorism; Memorials to Four Colleagues Who were Great Scientists and Citizens; Afterword: What are Nuclear Weapons for?
