An analysis of how nuclear weapons states have been able to 'normalise' nuclear weapons by practising elements of ‘nuclearism’. These practices have all been affected by the creation of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which represents a major challenge to these states and their domination of the global nuclear order.
