This course provides an in-depth look at the threat posed by the spread of nuclear weapons, current approaches to halting this spread, and ways to correct shortcomings in the current international nonproliferation regime.  The course will also examine new ways to strengthen the nuclear control regime, address the challenges of North Korea and Iran, and reduce the threat of nuclear terrorism using simulations, analysis, and group discussions.

This course provides students and practitioners with a balanced, in-depth look at the objectives and evolution of strategic arms control, challenges and potential avenues for a New START follow-on, and other related issues, including implications for U.S. nuclear policy, deterrence and extended deterrence, missile defense, strategic conventional strike, space- and cyber-security, and the nuclear zero issue.  Simulations and small group discussions further enhance the learning experience.
