The world is at a critical juncture in the effort to reduce nuclear arms. The number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly since the end of the Cold War, but there are still an estimated 13,000 nuclear weapons in existence. These weapons pose a grave threat to global security, and there is an urgent need to take further steps to reduce their number.

This Brookings Focus book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of nuclear arms and offers concrete steps that can be taken to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. The book begins by examining the history of nuclear weapons and the current state of the global nuclear arsenal. It then discusses the various arms control and disarmament agreements that have been negotiated over the years, and assesses their effectiveness.

The book goes on to identify a number of specific steps that can be taken to reduce the number of nuclear weapons in the world. These steps include:

Negotiating a new nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia
Reducing the number of nuclear weapons in each country's arsenal
Eliminating all nuclear weapons from non-nuclear weapon states
Strengthening the global nuclear non-proliferation regime
Promoting nuclear disarmament through education and public awareness

The book concludes by arguing that nuclear disarmament is a necessary step for ensuring a more secure and peaceful world. The book provides a valuable resource for policymakers, scholars, and anyone interested in the issue of nuclear disarmament.
