Great Decisions: The Third Nuclear Age

U.S. alliance skepticism may drive countries like Japan and South Korea to reconsider nuclear options. What are the implications of the Trump administration’s rethinking of the U.S. alliance system for regional and global security? Will this new uncertainty alter the way allies and rivals in various regions make decisions about security and nuclear weapons?

Join us for a discussion of the article “The Third Nuclear Age: Trump, the Order, and the Bomb" by Gideon Rose. Electronic copies will be sent to those on our mailing list and hard copies are available at Reston Library. The discussion will be led by expert speakers Joseph Rodgers, deputy director and fellow with the Project on Nuclear Issues in the International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

A short film on the topic will be shown at 1:00, followed by discussion at 1:30.
