Abstract: The groundbreaking paper Abolishing Nuclear Weapons by George Perkovich and James Acton was first published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies as an Adelphi Paper in September 2008. One of the paper's main aims was to jump-start a broad international debate about how to achieve the immensely important and equally difficult goal of nuclear disarmament. The present volume takes the next step. Perkovich and Acton have invited a distinguished group of experts -- current and former officials, respected analysts and authors -- from thirteen countries, nuclear and non-nuclear, to critique the Adelphi Paper, which is reprinted here. Their diverse views explore pathways around obstacles to nuclear disarmament and sharpen questions requiring further deliberation. The volume concludes with an essay by Perkovich and Acton that works through some of the key questions and dilemmas raised by the critiques.
