Project Title

As a one-time only grant for a project on nuclear threats and nuclear signaling

Date

Sep. 14, 2023

Duration

24 months

Description

In a conflict, a state with nuclear weapons may threaten to use those weapons to signal commitment to a goal or to manipulate risk in an attempt to get the adversary to back down.Such nuclear signaling has been used by Russia in the war in Ukraine but it has also been a feature of numerous conflicts between India and Pakistan.Using these cases, this project will assess the effects of nuclear signaling and threat-making to develop policy recommendations to avoid their destabilizing roles and thus the risk of nuclear war.The case studies will be based on intensive research and include interviews with relevant policymakers and others involved in crisis management in each country.The resulting report and recommendations will be disseminated through policy briefings and available online.
