PolitikWissen   /     The Ukraine War and Nuclear (Non)Proliferation

Description

The panelists discuss whether/how the war will be an incentive for a further spread of nuclear weapons and how it will affect international efforts to contain this spread, in particular the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and its associated instruments. Prof. em. Dr. Harald Müller was Director of the Leibniz Peace Research Institute Frankfurt from 1996 to 2015 and taught International Relations at the Goethe University Frankfurt/M. Among other things, he acted as disarmament advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and as a member of the German delegation to the 1995-2015 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conferences. Associate Professor Michal Onderco's main research interest is in international relations, particularly the study of international security, international institutions and Global South. In his research, he studies the roots of state action, exploring how commerce, norms and geopolitics inform foreign policy-making. Moderator: Prof. Martin Senn
