The Evolution of the Nuclear Order: A Global Perspective
Mon, June 6th, 2016
Washington, DC
Tensions in the global nuclear order are rising. The sources are many, including disagreement among states about disarmament and nonproliferation priorities, regional insecurity that both contributes to proliferation concerns and increases the salience of nuclear deterrence, disenchantment about the lack of progress toward disarmament, and questions about integrating nuclear outlier states into the order. The new Carnegie report Perspectives on the Evolving Nuclear Order asks what role ‘middle ground,’ or emerging, nuclear states—particularly Argentina, Brazil, China, India, and Pakistan—will play in the global debate on these issues.
Debak Das, Mariana Nascimento Plum, and Tong Zhao discussed Indian, Brazilian, and Chinese views on the nuclear order. Carnegie’s Toby Dalton moderated. Immediately following, Adam Scheinman commented on themes presented in the first panel in the context of his experience leading the U.S. delegation to the 2015 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference. Carnegie’s Togzhan Kassenova moderated.
