Summary: "The Trajectory of Iran's Nuclear Program offers a unique in-depth historical and technical description of Iran's nuclear program, highlighting the extraordinarily shifting political, economic, and strategic contexts that have influenced the evolution of Iran's nuclear activities. More than thirteen years after the outbreak of the Iran nuclear issue and about sixty years after the first agreement on research into peaceful uses of atomic energy, huge uncertainty still persists about the future of Iran's nuclear program, as well as the possible reasons behind the political and financial effort put by the country into its advancement in the nuclear field. The author makes a valuable contribution to a better understanding of this crucial issue's past and present states of affairs, pointing out its connections with the evolution of global and regional strategic balances, as well as the stability of the international regime against the proliferation of nuclear weapons"-- Provided by publisher.
