Brokering Peace in Nuclear Environments
Fri, May 18th, 2018
Washington, DC
Models of nuclear deterrence remain heavily informed by the bipolar, Cold War experience. But such models do not explain well the behavior of regional nuclear states, especially during crises in which third-party mediators play a critical role. Drawing on the history of conflict between India and Pakistan, in his new book Brokering Peace in Nuclear Environments, Moeed Yusuf describes and evaluates how the process of third-party intervention affects deterrence strategies and prospects for peace, and applies lessons to other regional nuclear rivalries. Toby Dalton moderated a conversation on this important new book on May 18, 2018 with Moeed Yusuf, Anne Patterson, Polly Nayak and George Perkovich.
