RUSSIA AND THE FORMER SOVIET UNION
Spring 2004
"Spotlight: Danielle Lussier Research Associate 2001–2004"
Newsletter Article, Belfer Center Newsletter
Ironically, an experience at the John F. Kennedy School in Enfield, Connecticut led Danielle Lussier to the John F. Kennedy School in Cambridge. As a student at Enfield's Kennedy Middle School in 1990, Lussier had the opportunity to take part in a class field trip to the Soviet Union. It was just months before the final collapse, and Lussier was struck by the nation's contrasts-the lack of visible poverty and the openness of Russian people alongside empty food shelves and lack of social vibrancy. "There was an enormous similarity and disparity with my own understanding of communism and multi-cultural relations," she says. The trip started her on a career as an expert in Russian affairs.

How to Stop Nuclear Terror
Journal Article, Foreign Affairs, issue no. 1, volume vol. 83
By Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; Douglas Dillon Professor of Government, Harvard Kennedy School
President Bush has called nuclear terror the defining threat the United States now faces. He's right, but he has yet to follow up his words with actions. This is especially frustrating since nuclear terror is preventable. Washington needs a strategy based on the "Three No's": no loose nukes, no nascent nukes, and no new nuclear states.
