Program

Nuclear Policy

The Nuclear Policy Program aims to reduce the risk of nuclear war. Our experts diagnose acute risks stemming from technical and geopolitical developments, generate pragmatic solutions, and use our global network to advance risk-reduction policies. Our work covers deterrence, disarmament, arms control, nonproliferation, and nuclear energy.

On Wednesday, July 16, Carnegie Senior Associate Rose Gottemoeller chaired a panel discussion on the recently released book, Tactical Nuclear Weapons: Emergent Threats in an Evolving Security Environment, featuring the book's editor, Alistair Millar, and several of its contributing authors, including Joshua Handler, Timothy Hoyt, and Robert Nelson. Millar introduced the book as an attempt to evaluate the changing security environment surrounding tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) since September 11th. The book is divided into three sections: the first examines the problem of TNW, particularly in the context of the Presidential Nuclear Initiatives undertaken to address non-strategic nuclear proliferation; the second concerns the status of TNW in the post-Cold War era in Russia, NATO, China, and South Asia; the third explores methods of controlling the proliferation of TNW.
