The Bulletin's content is "nuclear plus." Topics range across a spectrum of national and international security issues, with a special focus on nuclear issues. The Bulletin has recently examined the success of U.N. peacekeeping (a mixed bag), the usefulness of international sanctions in resolving conflict (only sometimes effective), and the trail of nuclear-weapons-related items from Europe to Iraq. A series of articles written by journalists from the former Soviet Union presciently highlighted the opportunities and setbacks the 15 former Soviet republics faced as they lurched uncertainly into the future. The Bulletin also documents the waste of excessive military spending, the increased tensions caused by the worldwide arms trade, the opportunity costs of militarism, and the damage to democracy caused by obsessive government secrecy.
