Preventing Black Market Trade in Nuclear Technology
Every nuclear-weapon program for decades has relied extensively on illicit imports of nuclear-related technologies. A new book offers the most detailed public account of how states procure what they need to build nuclear weapons, what is currently being done to stop them, and how global efforts to prevent such trade could be strengthened. 

Co-edited by Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Center's Matthew Bunn and Martin Malin and CNS's William Potter and Leonard Spector, the book argues that preventing illicit transfers wherever possible is a key element of an effective global nonproliferation strategy.
