This book explores how human factors, in particular the contested notion of trust, influence the conduct and practice of arms control verification.

Yet this view is fundamentally flawed since the technical impossibility of 100 per cent verification opens the door to a host of complex issues and questions regarding the process and its outcomes.

Reviews for Trust in Nuclear Disarmament Verification

The authors clearly articulate the influences of human factors in the process, and the simulations they conducted provide substantial insights into those influences, supporting the overall conclusions.” (Steven Brunts, H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, January, 2020)
