Description: "The proliferation of all kinds of weapons (nuclear, chemical, biological, and even conventional) is emerging as a focal point for international security. This book shows how both the language used to talk about weapons proliferation and the practices adopted to respond to it define the problem in ways that promote policy responses doomed to failure."--BOOK JACKET.
