The book discusses the development of the nuclear infrastructure on Ukrainian soil and offers a rich and nuanced background of how Ukraine became an important and integrated part of the Soviet nuclear infrastructure. It further analyzes Ukraine's nuclear disarmament based on extensive primary source material and places the Ukrainian nuclear reversal process in a larger international political context where Russia´s, the United States, and other players´ actions are interpreted in the light of the impact on the current nuclear non-proliferation regime. Finally, the book presents the nuclear-related development after the nuclear disarmament. It describes the integration of Ukraine into the international community and the role of nuclear power in the energy mix of the nation today. Concluding, Ukraine´s adaptation to the new security situation after the Russian annexation of Crimea is described and discussed. This volume is a must-read for scholars, researchers, students, and policy-makers interested in a better understanding of Ukraine's nuclear history, the political background of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, as well as of security studies and international relations in general. The work on this book has been supported by the Swedish Radiation Authority (SSM) in the Nuclear History of Ukraine Project (2015-2019)."--Publisher's description. 650 0 Nuclear weapons |zUkraine |xHistory. 650 0 Nuclear energy |zUkraine |xHistory. 650 0 Nuclear disarmament |zUkraine |xHistory. 650 0 Nuclear nonproliferation |zUkraine |xHistory. 650 6 Armes nucléaires |0(CaQQLa)201-0019344 |zUkraine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 650 6 Énergie nucléaire |0(CaQQLa)201-0019397 |zUkraine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 650 6 Non-prolifération nucléaire |0(CaQQLa)201-0027769 |zUkraine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 650 6 Désarmement nucléaire |0(CaQQLa)201-0027770 |zUkraine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 650 7 Nuclear disarmament. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01039933 650 7 Nuclear energy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01039951 650 7 Nuclear nonproliferation. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01040376 650 7 Nuclear weapons. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01040971 651 7 Ukraine. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01211738 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Sinovet︠s︡ʹ, Polina Andriïvna, |eeditor. 830 0 Contributions to international relations 902 960064661 |wcopy |120230106095250.0 910 |cC0710mon |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1274200646 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20230125 |eprocessed |f1274200646 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fASP |m311010 |nCloth 980 17668704 |i139.99 982 |cf 984 20220405 |b091516 |cYBP-US
