Engaging China and Russia on Nuclear Disarmament

In 2008, the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies initiated a study of Chinese and Russian perspectives on nuclear weapon policy, modernization, and disarmament in order to provide recommendations for engaging both countries in arms control efforts. Findings indicate that there is an important but limited window of opportunity for Washington to influence the role of nuclear weapons in Moscow's and Beijing's security planning. Dr. Jing-dong Yuan presents the essay "China and the Nuclear-Free World" and Dr. Nikolai Sokov presents the essay "Engaging Russia in Nuclear Disarmament: challenges and opportunities". The report is available online at: http://cns.miis.edu/opapers/op15/index.htm
