Abstract

This chapter outlines the current status of ballistic missiles in different states and addresses the issue of why states choose to further proliferate. An analysis of states that pose a challenge to the NPT is made and the responsibilities of nuclear weapon states are outlined. One of the main arguments of the chapter is that what nuclear states do matters for the considerations of other states regarding the legitimacy of the regime and the utility of nuclear weapons.
