The Evolution of Pakistan's Nuclear Posture
Seminar
Open to the Public - Belfer Center Library, Littauer-369
April 22, 2013
10:00-11:30 a.m.
Speaker: Pervez Hoodbhoy, Professor of Nuclear and High-energy Physics, Quaid-e-Azam University
Related Projects: Managing the Atom, International Security, Science, Technology, and Public Policy
Pakistan's nuclear program originally had a single purpose — that of countering India's nuclear weapons. But these weapons now serve multiple purposes and new nuclear doctrines are replacing old ones. The evolution of Pakistan's nuclear thinking shall be discussed within the context of its changed — and still changing — political, social and economic situation.

What drives countries to develop or not develop different nuclear fuel cycle technologies? In particular, why do some countries pursue the development of uranium enrichment and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing technologies (so-called "ENR technology")? As some countries debate whether to start developing ENR technology and others debate whether to continue developing ENR technology, answering these questions are vital for the future of the global nuclear industry.

The Nonproliferation Paradox: Why Efforts to Limit the Number of Nuclear States May Backfire

Since 9/11 and especially after the 2003 Iraqi Crisis, Iran has been able to increasingly impact Middle East politics. What are the roots of Iran's new significance in the region? What are the aims and strategies of Iran's foreign policy in the region? What are the consequences of Iran's foreign policy for the region? Focusing on the Iranian perspective of the Middle East politics, this talk will also address the opportunities and challenges of Iran's foreign policy conduct in the region and its relations with the United States.

How to Get Others to Stop Worrying and Love Your Bomb: India's Nuclear Diplomacy
Brown Bag Lunch
Open to the Public - Belfer Center Library, Littauer-369

Seven years after testing nuclear weapons, the United States recognized India as a responsible holder of nuclear weapons. Similarly, in the early 1960s, China was considered to be incapable of deterrence and unwilling to stem proliferation. China is now an integral part of the Nuclear Weapon States club. By investigating the ways in which China and India engaged in the project of reassurance, scholars and policymakers can draw out implications for disarmament and global stability.
