Posted: 6 November 2012

The Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) cordially invites you to attend the panel discussion "Stable Nuclear Zero: Feasible, Realistic?" on Tuesday, November 20, 2012.

"Considering how much intellectual effort in the past half-century went into the study of the 'stability' of a nuclear deterrence world, it ought to be worthwhile to examine contingencies in a nuclear-free world to verify that it is superior to a world with (some) nuclear weapons."

Daedalus Fall 2009, Vol. 138, No. 4
