Abstract
There have been few bright spots in the decades-old, uphill struggle to halt the growth of established nuclear arsenals and to stop the spread of new ones. Nuclear non-proliferation can be a very discouraging business. Thus, it is especially noteworthy when a region troubled by nuclear rivalry — in this case Latin America — beats all the odds and makes a breakthrough toward averting an arms race that most experts regarded as inevitable.
