Publisher's Synopsis
Global Disarmament and Transforming the Next Generation, a compelling exploration into the evolving landscape of global arms control, the ethics of military escalation, and the urgent call for disarmament in a volatile international environment. The book leverages unique insights gained from interviews with global leaders and UN officials, including Binalakshmi Nepram, founder of the Manipur Women Gun Survivors Network, and Dr. Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh, Associate Professor at Sciences Po, Paris. "Global Disarmament and Transforming the Next Generation" addresses pre-conflict, in-conflict, and post-conflict disarmament strategies with actionable frameworks. Shiven brings clarity to complex issues like nuclear arms reduction, the humanitarian impact of conventional arms, and the ethical quandaries posed by emerging autonomous weapons technologies. The United Nations and other global organizations serve as a backdrop to his research, highlighting initiatives such as the #Youth4Disarmament Initiative and Sustainable Development Goal 16 on peace and justice. "I want my generation to take a stand and promote sustainable peace through diplomacy, dialogue, and policy reform," says Shiven, reflecting his dedication to fostering a more secure future.
