Our electric automotive future
The transition from oil to electricity for personal transportation is underway with virtually every automaker now seeking to produce an electrical automobile, of some form, under its brand. The pace of this transition, however, is dependent upon both technical and institutional changes. Electricity has the opportunity to play both a disruptive role in transportation and a transformational role in renewable energy, to the benefit of moderating cli…
Devaluing Nuclear Weapons
So much of the never-ending debate over nuclear weapons today focuses on or mechanisms that purportedly can be used to diminish the significance of nuclear weapons in our lives. These tools-such as a comprehensive nuclear test ban, a nuclear freeze, a no-first-use pledgepresume a willingness or eagerness on the part of superpower leaders to find a way out of the nuclear impasse. In fact, it is this presumption that needs debate, and not the subsi…

Nuclear power safety and the role of international organization
Sovereign states determine the health and safety regulation of nuclear power facilities almost exclusively. Yet the Soviet nuclear power accident at Chernobyl (April 1986) demonstrated that nuclear power can have significant health and political effects transcending state boundaries. Several meetings have been held at the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) since the Chernobyl accident, with delegates seeking to find the…
The Nuclear Connection
This book presents papers on nuclear power. Topics considered include prospects for commercial nuclear power and proliferation, the front end of the fuel cycle, the back end of the fuel cycle, national policy issues, non-proliferation policy, safeguards, controls, sanctions, and nuclear energy and proliferation (a longer perspective)
International Relations and Politics
Stabilizing Star Wars
An orderly replacement of offensive with defensive nuclear weapons is part of the defense-protected build-down (DPB) strategy described by Weinberg and Barkenbus. Differing from the administration's Star Wars approach by relying on interceptor missiles rather than costly and unproven lasers and particle beams, the plan also calls for a simultaneous freeze on offensive weapons.

Is Self-Regulation Possible
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's increasingly prescriptive regulation of the nuclear industry can have deleterious effects, perhaps the most serious being the shift in responsibility for safety from the utility to the NRC. Several factors account for this type of regulation including the nature and structure of the nuclear industry, public opinion and bureaucratic incentives, and the nature of the technology itself. The opportunities to create…

Federal Energy Policy Paradigms and State Energy Roles
The Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations has rekindled a debate as old as founding of republic by asking once again what governmental functions and responsibilities ought to be carried out by federal government as opposed to powers reserved to state and local governments. The impetus for revival of this issue is commission's conclusion that the intergovernmental system today is a bewildered and bewildering maze of complex, overlappi…
Deep Seabed Resources
The Politics of Ocean Resource Exploitation
Technological development is allowing ocean resource exploitation to advance at an unprecedented scale and pace. Recent sessions of the United Nations Law of the Sea Conference (UNCLOS), however, have demonstrated that disputes over how ocean resources should be exploited, and on whose behalf, have accompanied this technological development. Ocean resource politics practiced at UNCLOS manifests four major themes common to resource politics in gen…
How to Make Peace on the Seabed
The Trans-Peninsular Highway
As Mexican President Luis Echeverria Alvarez strode to the dedication stand, confetti and rose petals filled the air; and upon raising the Mexican flag at the base of a 135-foot-high statue located in the middle of the Baja California desert, more than 5,000 peopled cheered, "Viva Mexico, viva la carretera" (the highway). The occasion of the recent dedication and praise was the completion of the first paved highway that effectively links northern…
