Podcast host Alex Gabuev is joined by Rose Gottemoeller, a lecturer at Stanford University, former Deputy Secretary General of NATO, and author of the forthcoming book Security Through Cooperation: Space, Nuclear Weapons, and US-Russia Relations After the Cold War, to discuss the prospects of strategic arms control between the United States and Russia.
On February 5, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, the New START, expired. Absent this or a similar agreement, the world is a more dangerous place—particularly given the nuclear buildup in China, proliferation and rapid evolution of military technologies, and ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Still, Rose Gottemoeller, who was the lead U.S. negotiator of the New START, remains cautiously optimistic about the future of arms control. What could lead to a revival of U.S.-Russia and international talks to contain the risks of nuclear war? And what lessons from cooperation between the two countries in areas like civilian nuclear power and space could be applicable for the future?
