Description

 The end of the Cold War did not eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons. The presence and proliferation of nuclear weapons continue to pose a serious threat to today’s global security and the risk of their deliberate or accidental use due to human or technical failure is high. The concept of global nuclear governance describes the complex, multi-level web of actors, rules, treaties, informal arrangements and initiatives that together form the regime that the international community has set up to deal with the management and regulation of nuclear weapons, their sensitive technologies and delivery means. The 2015 Isodarco Winter School will address and deepen our understanding of the main elements of the nuclear governance system, review their functions, highlight strengths and limitations, and propose possible remedies to enhance their effectiveness.
