British American Security Information Council (BASIC)
Project Title
For a consensus-building effort around pragmatic, short-term disarmament measures
Date
Sep. 12, 2019
Duration
15 months
Description
The debate over nuclear disarmament is dominated by well-established and seemingly irreconcilable positions that imperil the 2020 Review Conference of the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (RevCon). The British American Security Information Council (BASIC) will convene a series of facilitated workshops to improve mutual understanding between states and identify short-term pragmatic steps that represent a win for all parties. This survey and discussion process, informed by systems and design thinking, will systematically surface obstacles to disarmament. The goal is to identify and build support for pragmatic, short-term “stepping stones” in the global disarmament regime ahead of the RevCon. These outcomes will be communicated back to officials through a visual roadmap and interactive workshop reports.
