Discussing Nuclear Weapons Policy

Dave Schuler | Thursday, December 20, 2007

Cheryl Rofer, co-blogger at the diplomacy-oriented blog, WhirledView has initiated an intriguing project: convene a “think tank” of bloggers to discuss the subject of nuclear weapons policy. With North Korea’s apparent test of a nuclear device, the recent uproar in nuclear-armed Pakistan, and the concerns about the possibility of an Iranian nuclear weapons development program, the subject has special currency. Her introductory post provides a meaty bibliography for gaining some initial understanding of the matter.

Some bloggers have responded already. My contribution to the discussion is here. Michael Van Der Galiën of PoliGazette has responded, too.

Feel free to join in the conversation here, on Cheryl’s, Michael’s, or my blog, or on your own blog with a post of your own.
