In 1995, 25 years after the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) entered into force, the parties to the NPT will meet in New York to consider its extension. The essays in this volume address questions concerning the future of the NPT from differing points of view, and the diverse group of contributors includes persons who have played key roles in past review conferences.
