| Summary/Abstract |
The post-bipolar world order, transitional in nature, lacks an established
set of institutional norms and rules that would provide a place for arms
control in the general system of international security. Many aspects of the
world order that directly affect the arms control architecture have already
changed, and this factor largely destructs existing arms control regimes.
With the current world order in transition, which combines elements of the
old order and new factors and interdependencies, it would be reasonable to
take a hybrid approach to arms control where a well-structured and legally
binding core addressing nuclear risks would be accompanied by flexible
application of more liberal formats, making it possible to strengthen and
develop periphery areas that were previously not covered by the relevant
rules or lost them due to the cancellation of relevant agreements.

| Summary/Abstract |
Norm contestation and the search for legitimate and acceptable compromise have been persistent features of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. They have also marked the domestic politics of nuclear weapons, especially within democracies. How do those internal and external contestations and searches for compromise interact? Attention will focus on the United Kingdom that stands out for the openness of domestic debate on nuclear policy, division within political parties, and the role granted to parliament. The United Kingdom has held to an idea of order and responsible stewardship entailing the managed coexistence of nuclear deterrence, arms control, and non-proliferation. Active pursuit of multilateral nuclear disarmament to this end has also helped governments to constrain domestic opposition to the nuclear force's (Trident's) renewal and modernization. The United Kingdom's alignment of domestic and international stances on nuclear weapons is today being jeopardized by its internal turmoil and by international discord over nuclear norms and rules.
