A workshop on deterrence in a changing world was held at Hoover on May 16, 2012 to examine the arguments that support the status quo in nuclear deterrence strategies. Participants commented on a paper presented by Benoit Pelopidas, a French scholar who is now a lecturer at the University of Bristol, England. Experts on several regions of the world assessed how nations in those regions would react to the debate over nuclear deterrence; two distinguished religious leaders reviewed the ethics of nuclear deterrence in contemporary conditions. (This summary report was written by Peter Jones, a Hoover visiting fellow.)
