S4 EP 6 - Nuclear Threats: Life After Death After Life
| by Stephen Herzog
In this episode, Rohatyn Center director Mark Williams speaks with Dr. Stephen Herzog, Professor of the Practice at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, about renewed fears of nuclear accidents and war—and how strategies meant to prevent them can sometimes make matters worse. Drawing on his co-edited book, Atomic Backfires, Herzog explains why nuclear anxieties have resurfaced decades after the Cold War and how policies such as sanctions, treaties, export controls, nonproliferation incentives, and military strikes can unintentionally deepen nuclear risks.
