Nuclear Proliferation - Video

 


Nuclear Proliferation. 


Discuss all these topics with your group and share 

your opinion with the rest of the class.



  1. Should nuclear-armed states work toward total 

disarmament, or is a limited number of nuclear 

weapons necessary for global security?

  1. Is the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear 

Weapons (NPT) still effective in today's geopolitical 

climate?

  1. Do nuclear weapons act as a deterrent to war, or do 

they increase the likelihood of global conflict?

  1. Is it justifiable for non-nuclear states to seek nuclear 

weapons in order to balance power in an unequal 

international system?

  1. Should international bodies like the United Nations 

be more aggressive in sanctioning countries pursuing 

nuclear capabilities, such as North Korea and Iran?

  1. Do the benefits of civilian nuclear energy programs 

outweigh the risks of potential nuclear weapons 

development?

  1. Is a world without nuclear weapons achievable, 

or is the idea too idealistic given the current global 

tensions?

  1. Should nuclear-armed states be allowed to 

dictate non-proliferation terms to non-nuclear 

states, given the principle of state sovereignty?

  1. How should international relations handle the risk 

of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of non-state 

actors or terrorist groups?

  1. Does the current global framework for nuclear weapons 

control favor powerful nations at the expense of smaller 

or less developed states?
