Reducing the role of tactical nuclear
weapons in Europe
Project Description
This project seeks to advance understanding of and support
for steps to reduce the role and number of tactical nuclear
weapons in Europe and Russia in the context of broader efforts
to diminish the salience of nuclear weapons in Europe. It
also looks to promote the withdrawal of all U.S. nuclear weapons
from Europe in the context of the review of NATO’s Strategic
Concept. Such a decision needs to be taken as the result of
an inclusive decision-making process that increases overall
European security and does not alienate any allies.
Activities include roundtables in key countries, publications
and outreach activities, the organization of delegations
of former and current officials to discuss key policy options,
as well as work with Parliamentarians in NATO member states.
The project is funded by the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation and will be conducted by the IFSH in cooperation
with the Arms Control Association (ACA) and the British
American Security Information Council (BASIC).
