The Project on Managing the Atom and International Security Program at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a discussion on the future of arms control, as part of a new HKS series on The Future World Order.  The participants will be Emma Belcher (Ploughshares Fund), Matthew Bunn (Belfer Center/Managing the Atom) and Steven E. Miller (Belfer Center/International Security Program).  Professor Stephen Walt (Belfer Center/ISP) will moderate.

In 2011, the Belfer Center and ISKRAN published the “U.S.–Russia Joint Threat Assessment on Nuclear Terrorism,”which analyzes the means, motives, and access of would-be nuclear terrorists. Building on that groundbreaking study, this new report, to be presented at this seminar, analyzes the existing framework for action, identifies gaps and deficiencies, and makes specific recommendations for improvement of nuclear security.

On April 12, two leading North Korea experts will examine these developments and the broader geopolitical and nonproliferation implications of Pyongyang’s nuclear program at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The event (invitation required) begins at 6 p.m. at the Academy’s Cambridge, Mass., headquarters.

International Security Program Director Steven E. Miller will discuss the Iranian nuclear crisis from the perspective of Iran.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
