The Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) is a global network of individuals and institutions engaged in the study of international nuclear history through archival documents, oral history interviews, and other empirical sources. Recognizing that today’s toughest nuclear challenges have deep roots in the past, NPIHP transcends the East vs. West paradigm to work towards an integrated international history of nuclear weapon proliferation. NPIHP’s research fills in the blank and blurry pages of nuclear history in order to contribute to robust scholarship and effective policy decisions.

NPIHP was founded thanks to a generous grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. // Read more
