Paradigm of international geopolitics and geostrategy

The problem of the use of nuclear weapons as a force of deterrence is a problem with a planetary dimension which needs a well-coordinated planetary response. To do this, the strength of the discourse is limiting. Concrete action is needed in the direction of the disarmament of States and the systematic cessation of the production of weapons of mass destruction and those of long range .

However, the strengthening of bilateral and multilateral diplomacy as well as strict respect for diplomatic humility as enacted in the Vienna Convention of April 18, [1]1961 in the peaceful resolution of disputes is the best option for building a peaceful and reconciled world in its States. But is the question of the use of nuclear weapons posed to States or to other institutions and private structures or to individual initiatives?

To ask such a question is to address, in the background, the issue of nuclear weapons. It is also to grant an extension to the concept of "nuclear weapon" by widening it to any military intervention, allowing a State the possibilities of defending itself and defending its interests in a logic of deterrence: military superiority of dis- constraint .

Within the framework of this article, we will initially try to approach the political aspects of the application/use of the nuclear weapons in the international relations (I), in the second time, we will make a description of the economic aspects of the use of these weapons (II), in a third time, we will release an outline on the social aspects of the application of the aforesaid weapons in the international relations (III) and, in a fourth time we will evoke the threats [2]with peace and security in Africa which could in the long term lead the black continent into a logic open to the arms race (IV).

The arms race in world relations has always been a feature of the international scene. Something that is not without effects on the international community and these effects are political, economic and social.
