Increasing Non-proliferation through Collaboration between NWS and
NNWS

The Russian invasion of Ukraine can generate momentum either to motivate a country to start a nuclear weapon program or, on the opposite side, to enhance non-proliferation. The nuclear weapon states have a vital position. They have an option, either to disseminate nuclear weapon technology to gain allies or to maintain non-proliferation. Indonesia once wanted to become a nuclear weapon state, but after the change of power by the late of the 1960s, Indonesia decided to start supporting non-proliferation and has even become one of the countries that voiced and fought for this issue. Meanwhile, the United States, as the first nuclear weapons state, has helped other countries to develop the peaceful use of nuclear energy. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method to analyse open-source data on state nuclear non-proliferation efforts and collaboration between non-nuclear weapon states and nuclear-weapon states. This paper tried to examine the relationship between nuclear weapon states and non-nuclear weapon states with a study case on U.S.-Indonesia relations with expectations this paper can present and recommend practical mechanisms to increase non-proliferation through state collaboration after the invasion RussiaUkraine
