Once a country embarks on a 'solution' such as this to its security problems, the countries in conflict with it are obliged to follow suit, thus accelerating the process of development and proliferation of similar weapons. Fear stimulates the creation of a spiral of false security that will inevitably result, if left to its 'natural' forces, in world-wide destruction. Nuclear war is examined here from an epidemiological viewpoint as a disease with two corresponding different possibilities: (a) the natural history of the disease, and (b) modifications produced by primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. Medical responsibility has no alternative but to work for the prevention of the incurable consequences of nuclear war.</p>","PeriodicalId":77260,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and war","volume":"7 1","pages":"9-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07488009108408958","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13018066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keohane's definitional criteria. It has focused on the political issue-area of the prevention of nuclear war. Presently, it is cautiously expanding its mandate in order to engender international trust and co-operation in its role as an effective world leader. International or transnational NGOs have their roots in Quakerism of nearly 200 years ago. They take on a variety of forms but tend to share a distinguishing set of common characteristics. Since 1945, the number of international NGOs has grown impressively. The US affiliate of IPPNW, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), anticipated the non-governmental function of IPPNW by almost two decades, essentially serving as a prototype in limited ways. PSR was founded in 1961 by a group of young doctors deeply concerned about the medical effects of nuclear war. From this founding group of US physicians came the leadership for IPPNW's formation in late 1980. The past successes and ongoing efforts of IPPNW as outlined in this paper demonstrate that IPPNW is serving in the needed role of a transnational organization acting as a midwife for the birthing of a new global comprehensive security system.</p>","PeriodicalId":77260,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and war","volume":"6 4","pages":"250-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/07488009008408945","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13440719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
