Institute Hosts U.S., Russian Experts for High-Level Workshop on Nonproliferation and Disarmament

In the shadow of heightened tensions between the United States and Russia, the Institute’s James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) recently hosted a high-level workshop for American and Russian experts and policy makers relations that was notable both for its participants and for its constructive and collegial atmosphere. The July 30-31 event in Monterey, which CNS co-organized with Moscow’s Center for Energy and Security Studies, included former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry, former Soviet and Russian Ambassador Sergey Batsanov, Congressman Jimmy Panetta, and Inga Yumasheva, a member of the Russian Duma. California Governor Jerry Brown also participated in the workshop and delivered the keynote address.
