Many former hawks are now drafting a plan for the phased, decades-long elimination of nuclear weapons, while U.S. relations with Russia, China, and Iran continue to sour.

This program assesses these new opportunities and the best ways of overcoming the obstacles to exploiting them.
This program was funded by The Ploughshares Fund.
