Stopping the Spread of Nuclear Weapons and Their Means of Delivery

We study the ways in which geopolitical shifts and technological developments contribute to nuclear and missile proliferation. This includes exploring proliferation “hard cases”, such as Iran and North Korea, as well as global regimes, including the Non-Proliferation Treaty and UN Security Council Resolution 1540.

Our work includes conducting detailed research into the spread of sensitive technologies, as well as convening dialogues on international approaches to dissuade states from proliferating. We also cooperate with RUSI’s Centre for Finance and Security (CFS) on counterproliferation financing.
