description This is the third and final special issue in this series that engages with the concept of nuclear disarmament irreversibility. The first special issue provided a comprehensive overview of irreversibility, establishing a conceptual foundation for this underexplored term. The second special issue focused on drawing insights from empirical case studies relevant to the concept of irreversibility by examining the cases of South Africa, Kazakhstan, North Korea and bilateral arms control agreements between US and Soviet Union/Russia. This third special issue explores the applications of irreversibility through addressing the following topic: nuclear safeguards and the role of the IAEA, regional perspectives from the Middle East and Latin America, how transparency can enhance disarmament irreversibility, lessons learnt from chemical disarmament and how irreversibility dynamics can help us understand multi-generation military procurement projects. With the publication of this special issue, The Journal of Peace and Nuclear Disarmament concludes a trilogy of special issues, totalling 20 articles, that examine irreversibility’s conceptual, empirical, and policy dimensions. At a time of renewed interest in advancing global discussions on irreversibility, these contributions aim to foster a nuanced and grounded conversation, and more broadly to support efforts to envision the foundations of a nuclear-weapons-free world.
