Scenarios about 'nonproliferation'
The international effort to prevent the spread of weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapons, to countries that do not already possess them. Nonproliferation initiatives include treaties like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), export controls, sanctions, and diplomatic pressure aimed at limiting the number of nuclear-armed states. In alternate history scenarios, different nonproliferation outcomes significantly affect global power dynamics, regional security architectures, and the likelihood of nuclear conflicts.
