For decades nuclear proliferation has been an ebbing threat and influence over international relations. There have been continuous efforts since the 1940s to prevent nuclear proliferation, yet it continues to be a significant and prominent issue in current global affairs. This discussion with Ambassador Stephen Klement and Professor Ramesh Thakur will address alternative ambitions to prevent nuclear proliferation, the impact of this on nuclear ambitions in Europe-Asia relations, and what the future of nuclear use will look like for the next generation.
