Praise for Disarming Conflict
“Disarming Conflict made me want to stand up and cheer – finally, a book that confronts, articulately and impeccably, modern assumptions about the utility of war in resolving global disputes. Regehr’s book is a meticulously researched call to disarm and proves why he is Canada’s preeminent thinker on conflict issues, challenging readers and policy-makers to question the effectiveness of our rising militarism. I will be quoting liberally fromDisarming Conflict for years to come.”
Dr. Samantha Nutt
Author of Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies and Aid and founder of War Child Canada
“Ernie Regehr brings a wealth of knowledge and many years of thought to the issue of conflict and gives us a powerful counter to the deeply embedded assumption that there are seldom alternatives to war. By providing a huge number of examples, and often drawing on personal experience, Regehr shows both the extent of the problems and the disastrous consequences of reliance on military responses, and illustrates the many alternatives that are so often sidelined. This is an immensely useful book and a welcome antidote to the common obsession with war in the study of international security. There are other ways.”

The Iran fuel swap: a (very) modest proposal
The fuel swap proposal put forward jointly by Turkey, Brazil, and Iran will likely turn out to be much less consequential than either its critics or supporters contend. The proposal to exchange Iranian enriched uranium for reactor fuel certainly does … Continue reading

Canada’s opening statement at NPT: promoting nonproliferation while ignoring disarmament

US Disclosure of Operational Warhead Totals

The Global Nuclear Arsenal and the NPT conference
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference opened in New York today – a good occasion to recall the size of the nuclear arsenal that the Treaty promises, through Article VI and earlier Review Conferences, to eliminate. The short answer … Continue reading
