Apply for the Summer 2012 Nuclear Boot Camp
By admin | dicembre 14, 2011
Aimed at building a new generation of experts on the international history of nuclear weapons, the second-annual Nuclear Boot Camp is an initiative of the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP).
The continued proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most pressing security issues of our time, yet the empirically-based study of international nuclear history remains in its infancy! NPIHP’s Nuclear Boot Camp is an intensive, ten-day immersion in the history of nuclear matters ranging from the evolution of nuclear technology to the origins and development of deterrence theory and nuclear strategy through the historical roots of today’s global nuclear landscape.

NPIHP Working Paper #1: The Elephant in the Room: The Soviet Union and India’s Nuclear Program, 1967-1989
By admin | novembre 26, 2011
–By Balazs Szalontai
NPIHP is pleased to announce the first edition of its new Working Paper series: The Elephant in the Room: The Soviet Union and India’s Nuclear Program, 1967-1989 by Balazs Szalontai.
Drawing upon extensive research in Hungarian archives, Szalontai maps the evolution of the Soviet Union’s attitude towards India’s nuclear program from 1967 through 1989. He concludes that in the time period between the negotiations for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in 1967 through the end of the Cold War in 1989, Soviet policy vacillated between disapproval (during the NPT negotiations), silence (in the aftermath of India’s May 1974 nuclear test), and gradually increasing technical support for India’s civilian nuclear program (from 1976 onward). Further, these changes were motivated more by specific Soviet strategic objectives than by any general principles of non-proliferation policy.
Balazs Szalontai is a Research Fellow and Visiting Professor at ECNU’s Center for Cold War International History Studies. Having received a Ph.D. in Soviet and Korean history, he has done archival research on the modern history of North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Mongolia, the Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe. His publications include Kim Il Sung in the Khrushchev Era: Soviet-DPRK Relations and the Roots of North Korean Despotism, 1953-1964 (Stanford University Press and Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2005), and book chapters on North Korean and Southeast Asian economic and cultural policies. His current research projects are focused on the Korean War, Indochinese-ASEAN relations, North Korea’s involvement in the Vietnam War, and DPRK-Middle Eastern relations. He can be reached at aoverl@yahoo.co.uk.

CFR Invitation for 11/30 Academic Conference Call: “Female Entrepreneurship in Afghanistan”
By vittorio | novembre 25, 2011
On behalf of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), I invite you and your students to participate in the next CFR Academic Conference Call on Wednesday, November 30, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. (ET). Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, CFR’s fellow and deputy director of the Women and Foreign Policy program, will discuss female entrepreneurship in Afghanistan.
Prior to joining CFR, Ms. Lemmon covered public policy and emerging markets for the global investment firm PIMCO, after working for nearly a decade as a journalist and producer with the ABC News political unit and “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” Her first book, “The Dressmaker of Khair Khana,” a New York Times bestseller, tells the true story of a young Afghan entrepreneur whose business created jobs and hope for the women in her Kabul neighborhood during the Taliban years. Ms. Lemmon’s work on women entrepreneurs in conflict and postconflict regions has appeared in the “Financial Times,” “International Herald Tribune,” and “Christian Science Monitor,” as well as on multiple websites such as the “New York Times Global Edition,” CNN.com, “Daily Beast,” and “Huffington Post.”
I hope you will visit our “Educators” portal on the CFR website at www.cfr.org/educators, where you will find CFR and “Foreign Affairs” resources designed and packaged especially for the academic community, including modules with teaching notes, event announcements, and discounted “Foreign Affairs” subscriptions.
