Nuclear Weapons in a Changing World

Nuclear Weapons in a Changing World

Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - 12:15pm - 1:45pm

The future of nuclear weapons is no longer an exclusively Russian or American affair. Nuclear powers like China, India, Israel, and Pakistan, and potentially Iran complicate the question of nuclear disarmament. How these countries view the strategic value of nuclear weapons now must be discussed along with the nuclear postures of the United States and Russia.

Video of this event -- featuring Joseph Cirincione, author of a new American Strategy Program paper on American and Russian policy on nuclear weapons, MIT Professor Vipin Narang, and Trita Parsi, the founder and president of the National Iranian American Council -- is available above.
