On February 1 2022, VCDNP Senior Research Associate Dr. Hanna Notte and Ms. Sarah Bidgood (Director, Eurasia Nonproliferation Program, James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies - CNS) launched Machiavelli in the Ivory Tower, a new videocast series on arms control, nonproliferation, and international security issues. In each episode, Dr. Notte and Ms. Bidgood will host expert guests to discuss their latest cutting-edge research and what it means for the most pressing challenges facing policymakers today. Aiming to break down complex topics in ways that bridge the divide between scholarship and the real world, they bring Machiavelli into the Ivory Tower.
In the first episode of the series, Dr. Notte and Ms. Bidgood speak with Stanford University Professor Scott Sagan about his recently co-authored article in International Security entitled, “The Rule of Law and the Role of Strategy in US Nuclear Doctrine.” The conversation was focused on the relationship between nuclear doctrine and the law of armed conflict, related ethical and legal concerns, the implications for US policymakers and military planners, and recommendations for the upcoming Nuclear Posture Review.
The trailer for the videocast is available below, but the first episode is already available on the CNS website, its YouTube channel and on Spotify in audio format.
