Overview
Former secretary of state George Shultz’s Toward a World Free of Nuclear weapons project has renewed and catalyzed worldwide interest in reestablishing the vision of, and taking steps toward, significant reductions in global nuclear arsenals and, ultimately, their elimination. In the coming year, Secretary Shultz, renowned physicist Sidney Drell, and Ambassador James Goodby will provide this effort with the credibility and nonpartisan leadership the Obama administration needs in order to ratify treaties and retain international support and confidence. In addition, in 2011, the Hoover Institution plans to generate international debate on the role nuclear weapons play in deterring aggressive actions. It plans to use its findings to encourage the Obama administration’s engagement with international partners on nuclear security.
