Research Webinar: Dr. Christopher Lawrence in conversation with BRSL's Dr. Cameron Tracy

The Balance of Nuclear Humility: Techno-optimism, Complexity, and the Perils of Nuclear Primacy

Overview: This research seminar will cover Dr. Lawrence’s recent research on the diverse ways in which states plan out their nuclear weapons arsenals. While some field large numbers of weapons, chasing nuclear dominance over adversaries, others are content with smaller arsenals, deemed sufficient to deter adversaries from attacking. This analysis builds on quantitative modeling of strategic nuclear strikes, showing correlations between the scale of a state’s nuclear arsenal and uncertainties in its strategic effects.
