    Book Review

    The book, Inheriting the Bomb: The Collapse of the USSR and the Nuclear Disarmament of Ukraine by Mariana Budjeryn explores the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of nuclear disarmament in Ukraine, the world’s third-largest strategic nuclear weapon State. More broadly, it aims at understanding how the confluence of power and the international normative environment reinforce each other in order to shape nuclear decision-making in particular and international politics in general.
