Introduction: The Making of the Concept -- The Quest for the Administration of the General and Complete Cure -- A Mutating Anatomical and Physio-Pathology -- An Open-Ended Etiology and Patho-Genesis -- Serious and Threatening Pathological Effects -- Preventing and Detecting the Disease -- Treating and Palliating the Disease -- Conclusion: From Cure to Treatments.

Treating Weapons Proliferation is a chilling exploration of the dynamics of weapons proliferation and nonproliferation. Through an analogy with the disease of cancer, the book walks the reader through the history of the phenomenon, its growing complexities and changing dimensions,its causes and consequences, and the various policy responses currently available to address it. Taking stock ofthe nature and challenges ofsuch responses, the book shows that there is no all-encompassing cure for weapons proliferation at the present time, only treatments of relative and contextual effectiveness. Simply put, weapons proliferation, like cancer, has no single cure, but it is a condition that can often be treated, sometimes successfully.
