Yadernoe Nerasprostranenie (Nuclear Nonproliferation) is a college-level Russian-language textbook, which covers all aspects of the international regime involved with the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons. This two-volume second edition includes a thoroughly revised and updated first edition as the first volume (edited by Vladimir Orlov, Director of the PIR Center and Nikolai Sokov, a Senior Research Associate at CNS) and a new, second volume, which includes collection of key documents relating to nuclear nonproliferation (assembled by Ildar Akhtamzyan, an associate professor at Moscow State Institute (University) of International Relations). Published in 2000, the first, one-volume edition of the textbook quickly became a best-selling text in the field.

Strengthening U.S.-Russian Cooperation on Nuclear Nonproliferation: Recommendations for Action Preface and Acknowledgments In September 2003, the U.S. National Academies and Russian Academy of Sciences jointly organized a workshop on impediments to cooperation between the U.S. and Russia on nuclear nonproliferation. The product of that effort was a report entitled Overcoming Impediments to U.S.-Russian Cooperation on Nuclear Nonproliferation: Report of a Joint Workshop.1 The present fast-track study builds upon that earlier collaboration by providing the consensus recommendations and conclusions of a joint U.S.-Russian committee about the most attractive path forward for cooperation between the two countries on nuclear nonproliferation. The National Research Council of the National Academies appointed the members of the U.S. committee, while the Russian Academy of Sciences appointed the members of the Russian committee. All members of the joint committee, U.S. and Russian, participated in this study as independent experts and the views expressed in this text do not necessarily reflect the views of the institutions with which they are affiliated. To supplement the existing literature on cooperative nonproliferation programs and provide background material for the report, the joint committee commissioned several papers from Russian and U.S. experts. These papers appear as appendixes to the report.

Representative John Linder, a Georgia Republican who chairs a House panel that tracks nuclear nonproliferation, said Bush hasn't focused on securing the weapons because his presidency increasingly has become tied to success or failure in Iraq. Graham Allison, an assistant secretary of defense in the Clinton administration, said Bush and Putin have ... been distracted by Iran's nuclear program, currently the focus of an international diplomatic effort to get it to agree to restrictions.

Strengthening U.S.-Russian Cooperation on Nuclear Nonproliferation: Recommendations for Action projects in non-nuclear-weapons states under the charter of the Joint High-Level Commission described earlier. The joint committee ... recommends the establishment, under the same charter, of a bilateral scientific and technical working group on combating radiological terrorism. CONCLUSION Cooperative efforts are at a turning point. No longer should or can the Russian Federation be solely the recipient of assistance. It is now able, politically and economically, as well as militarily, to take its place as a true partner of the United States in the effort to contain the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world. It is therefore time for the two sides to forge a full partnership in this regard.

Nonproliferation policy utilizes diplomatic, legal, economic, military and political means to persuade countries not to acquire nuclear weapons. Treaties such as the NPT establish international norms and institutions that support nonproliferation and provide authority for enforcement and compliance of nonproliferation obligations.
