Description


Students are invited to study and discuss various questions concerning nuclear weapons. We look at the international political system, warfare and the arms race. We ask how a nuclear bomb actually works, and what are its effects. We study nuclear strategies, and review attempts to control nuclear arms. Finally, we discuss mechanisms of collective security which may eventually remove the threat of nuclear arms entirely: the European Union, the United Nations, and the 'New World Order'.
