Brazil’s nuclear policy is at a critical juncture. As existing capabilities expand, successive administrations have in recent years engaged in a multi-stakeholder process to reform the rules and institutions governing the sector. The outcome will have serious implications for nuclear safety and security, the private sector, civilian-military relations, policy accountability, and the future prospects of Brazil’s nuclear capabilities. This is the first attempt to our knowledge to systematically and independently assess the status of these profound transformations, through in-depth consultations across the board.

Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.

- The Unintended Consequences of German DeterrenceResearch
Germany's sometimes ambiguous nuclear policy advocates nuclear weapons for deterrence purposes but at the same time adheres to non-proliferation. This dichotomy can turn into a formidable dilemma and increase proliferation pressures in Berlin once no nuclear protector is around anymore, a scenario that has become more realistic in recent years.
