Non-Nuclear Peace: Beyond the Nuclear Ban Treaty
The Role of Informal International Organizations in Resolving the Iranian Nuclear Crisis (2003–15)
This article attempts to discover why states have chosen to co‐ordinate within ad hoc informal international organizations instead or on top of formal ones, in order to resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis in the period 2003–15. Three informal groups of states – the E3 (France, Germany and the UK), the EU‐3 (the E3 + the EU High Representative), and the EU‐3 + 3 (the EU‐3 + the US, Russia, and China) – are widely seen as having contributed to the d…
Increasing carbon footprint of grain crop production in the US Western Corn Belt
Global agriculture is challenged to increase soil carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing products for an increasing population. Growing crop production could be achieved through higher yield per hectare (i.e. intensive farming) or more hectares (extensive farming),which however, have different ecological and environmental consequences.Multiple lines of evidence indicate that expanding cropland for additional prod…
The Nuclear Ban Treaty: A Sign of Global Impatience
Future historians may record summer 2017 as the beginning of the end of the nuclear age
Mr. Trump, Post Nuclear Ban Treaty, Nato’s Nuclear Weapons in Europe are Obsolete
This commentary makes the case as to why the U.S. tactical nuclear weapons that have been stationed in Europe since the 1960s should be removed, and how this could be done in the most effective way under the presidency of Donald Trump. It concludes with a summary of the expected benefits of this move, and a reminder that the costs of continued muddling through are substantial
The nuclear security discourse: Proliferation vs disarmament concerns
The phrase ‘proliferation concern’ tags its subject – circumstances, a government, a policy, a capability – as a threat to the nuclear non-proliferation regime. It is applied as a discursive tool in the increasingly powerful nuclear security discourse, reinforced by successive US presidents to frame an understanding of nuclear relations in the language of US interests and national security. This article investigates the evolution of this discours…
US Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Europe after Nato’s Lisbon Summit: Why their Withdrawal is Desirable and Feasible
The article describes how over the past two decades the role of US forward-deployed tactical nuclear weapons has gradually declined, and explains the logic behind their decreased importance. The main arguments in favor of the continuation of the process of their removal from Europe, until they have been entirely eliminated over the next couple of years, are listed, and the reasons for NATO’s desire to nevertheless prolong its reliance on these we…
A Second Nuclear Revolution: From Nuclear Primacy to Post-Existential Deterrence
This article predicts that the nuclear weapon states may opt sooner for nuclear elimination than generally expected. This delegitimation of nuclear weapons is due to five factors whose importance has grown since the mid-1990s: nuclear proliferation, the risk of nuclear terrorism, the nuclear taboo, missile defence, and the increased importance of international law. The article starts with categorizing nuclear weapons policies: nuclear primacy, ma…

Coercive diplomacy by the EU: The Iranian nuclear weapons crisis
The European Union has been the main international actor trying to contain the Iranian nuclear programme. In 2003, for the first time ever, the EU-3 adopted a coercive diplomatic approach vis-à-vis Iran. The current article begins with an analysis of the concept of coercive diplomacy before applying it to the Iranian case. In so doing, the article aims to make an interim assessment of the European (EU-3) effort
