ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY, AND SOCIALLY NUCLEAR WAR WILL UPEND SOCIAL STRUCTURES OF COUNTRIES. Martin, Bryan. "The Global Health Effects of Nuclear War" University of Wollongong - New South Wales, Australia. Web. 25 Aug. 2010. bmartin/pubs/82cab/index.html>. In the absence of direct attacks, the major indirect effects of nuclear war on a country such as Australia would not be physical but economic, political and social. Economically, nuclear war would cause an enormous disruption of world production and trade. Politically, nuclear war seems likely to cause massive upheavals not only in countries directly involved but in many of those far from the direct destruction The social effects of nuclear war would be many, and include the psychological effects of massive nuclear destruction and the more immediate stresses of large numbers of refugees from Europe and North America. Study of and planning for these nonphysical effects of nuclear war has been meagre or nonexistent. But unless the almost total lack of progress towards nuclear disarmament since 1945 is somehow reversed, these possible effects seem certain to become reality sooner or later.
