Document Summary
Iran long disregarded npt obligation secretly developing technology and infrastructure to become nws. Cover blown in 2002-3, based on accusations proven right. Coercive diplomacy led to july 2015 agreement. Decision was made that it would be unrealistic that iranians would stop all nuclear energies; there was instead a civilian use nuclear energy program. Inspections to ensure these enrichment programs, facilities limited 10-15 years. Breakout capacity pushed back to 1-2 years. Private proliferations: private actors can have a huge effect on international politics. They have existed thus far in a sense under the american nuclear umbrella. Can undermine other dimensions of power and values. The more becomes involved and dependant on each other, the more influential they are on each other. Polarity: international system: like party system, pattern of interactions with casual impact. A pole: a country with an exceptionally large share of the major power resources.
