Spring 2008
Editor: Sharon Wilke, Associate Director of Communications
The Spring 2008 issue of the Belfer Center newsletter features recent and upcoming research, activities, and analysis by Center faculty, fellows, and staff on critical global issues. Should nuclear weapons be eliminated? was the central question of this issue — raised by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in an overflow forum in December and discussed the following day in a meeting of top Russian, U.S. and international arms control experts co-chaired by Gorbachev and Center Director Graham Allison.
The Spring issue also features Belfer Center work on reducing greenhouse gas emissions globally and forging an international agreement to make that happen. Robert Stavins and John Holdren drive efforts to find solutions to the scientific and political challenges surrounding climate issues. Additionally, this issue covers a Center Dubai Initiative conference that delves into conflict and economic promise in the Middle East, the successful and far-ranging impact of the Belfer Center/Kennedy School's collaboration with the Broadmoor neighborhood of post-Katrina New Orleans, and much more.
