Nuclear Weapons and European Security
Several international governmental and non-governmental initiatives currently seek to revitalize the nuclear disarmament process. This project investigates the conditions in which international support for such initiatives might be forthcoming. The initial focus of the project is NATO and Europe. In its first phase the project has begun to explore whether and how NATO can make a substantial contribution to a revitalized arms control framework in which future nuclear arms reductions can be accomplished in a transparent, verifiable and irreversible way.
A copy of the report on The Future Role of Nuclear Weapons in NATO that has been prepared during this first phase is available at URL http://www.sipri.org/contents/update/09/03/090311_Future%20Role%20of%20Nuclear%20Weapons%20in%20NATO.pdf
This project is supported by the Carnegie Cooperation of New York and carried out in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Germany.
