In an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, presented in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry, Carnegie's George Perkovich discusses the priorities for U.S.-Indian Defense and Security Cooperation.
The conventional wisdom in the West has been that Iranians support these policies and that there is at best only a difference of “tone” between the various factions in this area. This is mistaken.

Nuclear weapons have unintended beneficial consequences, argues Godfried van Benthem van den Bergh. They can make the intended development of a more peaceful global and political order possible. The Carnegie Nonproliferation Program presents this paper in hopes of furthering international dialogue and debate on the nuclear order, including the abolition of nuclear weapons.

The Obama administration's push for securing ratification of the CTBT is a welcome change in US policy, but will not guarantee the CTBT's entry into force. Both nuclear and non-nuclear-weapon states as well as civil society must contribute to efforts to seek US ratification of the CTBT and pressure hold-out states to do the same.
All NPT states agreed in 2000 to lay out a practical path toward nuclear disarmament – the 13 Steps. While some steps toward disarmament have been taken, much more needs to be done.
