The key aims have been to examine arms control and nuclear deterrence through a broad framework of ‘nuclear dynamics and great powers in Asia’ while also investigating the linkages that exist between arms control and nuclear deterrence on the one hand and the different forms of regional security architecture on the other. As such, the paper covers formal and informal measures of arms control, the role played by China, and ongoing problems in Japan’s views on nuclear disarmament. paper presented to the ‘Still thriving?
