Ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East and other international security, political, and economic trends, are accelerating a longer-term dynamic that will be key in shaping the future of the global order.

It will use a bottom-up approach and employresearch and surveys to compare attitudes toward security, diplomacy, and political economy and will promote a South-South dialogue on geopolitical issues.

Project Title
For a project to engage scholars and practitioners in an assessment of approaches for engaging the public in nuclear risk reduction efforts
Date
Sep. 15, 2022
Duration
28 months
Description
Generating public attention to nuclear security issues and translating that into policy change is understudied. This is in part due to the absence of academic analysis of past advocacy successes at arms control or the relevance of contemporary social movements for nuclear threat reduction. The University of California, Irvine will lead a project to engage scholars and practitioners in an assessment of how to engage the public in nuclear risk reduction efforts. This analysis will focus on past cases of advocacy for arms control, current social movements, and lessons learned from practitioners. The result will be a series of papers that analyze when arms control advocacy is more or less likely to culminate in policy change.
