Book Review: Preventing Black-Market Trade in Nuclear Technology

Diplomacy and policy making may get all the attention when it comes to non-proliferation policy-making, but one aspect of the overall effort is carried out silently and in a largely uncoordinated fashion by law enforcement, international inspections, UN sanctions, financial sector restrictions and other interventions. The initiative includes those who work in export control that ask the questions and apply the brakes to prevent, or slow the acquisition of materials and equipment that could be used in an illicit effort to build nuclear weapons.
