Résumé

Whereas the end of the Cold war seemed to rime with the end of nuclear threat, the 21st century appears to be an even more dangerous place (I) since the struggle against nuclear proliferation still remains inefficiency (II).

Extract:

On October, 9th 2006, North Korea annonced it had conducted a nuclear test successfully. The news struck the international community. The galloping spread of nuclear technologies and knowledge to nations that do not already have these capabilities, such as North Korea, but also Iran, is alarming.

The present file comprises five articles. The first three articles come from The Economist and were published from February 2004 to June 2006. The last two articles were published in Indian Today, an English Hindi news magazine, on July 2006. The articles, entitled "A world wide web of nuclear danger", and "The long, long half-life" deal with the world nuclear proliferation and the difficulties to contain it. The three other articles, "Win some, lose some", "Crossing a big hurdle", "Paying for naïveté" critically detail the United-States' commitment in the battle against proliferation.

Whereas the end of the Cold war seemed to rime with the end of nuclear threat, the 21st century appears to be an even more dangerous place (I) since the struggle against nuclear proliferation still remains inefficiency (II).
