Trading SWU for DIME: The Role of Iran’s Nuclear 'Currency' in its Quest for Power

About

The research presents a model of Iran’s decision-making behaviour and the development of its nuclear program during its negotiations with p5+1 over the past decade. The model demonstrates how Iran’s nuclear development, measured in terms of the SWU (separative work units) of Iran’s enrichment program, has been an important component of a bargaining strategy to maximize power, measured in terms of diplomatic, information and technology, military, and economic resources (DIME) .
