This volume is intended to provide general readers with an appreciation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty's possibilities and problems, as foreseen by a diverse group of highly qualified experts. In 1967 the American Society of International Law established a Panel on Nuclear Energy and World Order. The members of the panel represented different disciplines--law, the natural sciences, the social sciences--had brought to the effort a variety of experience in government, the academic community, research organizations, and private industry. This volume is not a committee report. It is a collection of essays that have taken into account suggestions by panel members.
