To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
Why do so few states acquire nuclear weapons? Why do most states abandon their nuclear weapons programs, and what distinguishes those that persevere? In other words, what determines whether states commit to their nuclear weapons programs in the long term? This seminar examines the role of nuclear entrepreneurs in determining the political sustainability of nuclear weapons programs.
