  NPWG Meeting 9/12: Guest Speaker Dr. Andrew Reddie

  5:40 pmhttp://bit.ly/JoinNPWG

  This week we will be hosting our first guest speaker of the semester, Dr. Andrew Reddie, who will be giving a talk on the history of arms control!  See below for an abstract and bio.

  Abstract:

  Why do states that compete with one another--arming proxies, stealing IP, and engaging in gray zone warfare--create agreements that curtail their ability to proliferate weapons that might help them win a war? On its face, this phenomenon represents a puzzle for scholars of international relations. In this presentation, I consider this question--arguing that arms control is driven by both cooperative and competitive dynamics. In the processes, I engage with broader efforts to control the development and use of technologies during war across time and space--culminating in a discussion of contemporary nuclear arms control examples.
