Focus
What are the dangers posed by nuclear weapons in a global environment
in which terrorism is an important force? What will be the consequences
for international relations and global politics? What are the implications
of terrorism for how we deal with nuclear weapons? How will the
events of September 11, 2001, change priorities? Which nuclear weapons
policies remain appropriate, and which should be changed? What will
be the consequences for international regimes for controlling nuclear
weapons? How will new threats affect U.S. bilateral relations with
great states and regional blocs? What impact will there be on the
domestic politics in these states and regions, and with what consequences
for international/bilateral relations?
