For decades, a fragile consensus has held back the floodgates of nuclear proliferation. Do recent developments— Iran’s enrichment program, the nuclear deal with India, failure to implement a test ban treaty—threaten to unravel that consensus? If so, what can be done?
These questions form the basis for The Century Foundations’s recent activities on nuclear security. After a series of expert consultations, and with support from the Italian Foreign Ministry and assistance from The Center for American Progress, The Century Foundation hosted “Weapons Threats and International Security: Rebuilding an Unraveled Consensus” on February 26, 2006. This major international conference focused on how to forge a new road map to nuclear security and brought together over a hundred experts, practitioners, and participants. Their insights are available online, and are further elaborated in a forthcoming book of essays commissioned by The Century Foundation. This collection features writing from some of the most incisive international analysts on this issue, and highlights practical steps that can be taken now to rebuild a fragmented consensus.
