"The Fragility of the Global Nuclear Order"

Op-Ed, Boston Globe

By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government; Faculty Chair, Dubai Initiative, Harvard Kennedy School and Ernesto Zedillo

Belfer Center Director Graham Allison joins Ernesto Zedillo, former president of Mexico, in cautioning that the global nuclear order is "under severe stress" and that the International Atomic Energy Agency must be strengthened in order to save the nonproliferation regime. The Nonproliferation Treaty, they argue, "is eroding to the point of 'irreversibility' beyond which there could be a 'cascade of proliferation.'"
