Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future

THE MIDDLEBURY INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AT MONTEREY AND
THE JAMES MARTIN CENTER FOR NONPROLIFERATION STUDIES

PRESENT

A Seminar
“Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future”

Speaker

Henry Sokolski
Henry Sokolski is the Executive Director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, and author of Underestimated: Our Not So Peaceful Nuclear Future, which explores what we may be up against in the next few decades and how we think about this future. The key premise of the book is that with the world focused on Iran, it is tempting to think that addressing this case, North Korea, and the problem of nuclear terrorism is all that matters and is what matters most. Perhaps, but if states become more willing to use their nuclear weapons to achieve military advantage, our security could be held hostage not just by Pyongyang, Tehran and terrorists, but to nuclear proliferation and miscalculation, and wars between a much larger number of possible players.
