Abstract
Objective: The success of U.S. nonproliferation efforts has most often resulted from actions
beneath the public radar. Policy makers have acted on early indications of
proliferation and were able to take modest measures that proved effective. It is
important to know how policy is influenced by intelligence and intelligence-led
policy. This two-year project will produce detailed histories of how U.S.
intelligence officers and policy makers have worked together on several challenging
proliferation cases. It will distill practical lessons for the improvement of future
collaboration in this area. The project will also include research to evaluate past
U.S. intelligence and policy collaboration aimed at countering proliferation in India,
Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Taiwan, South Korea, and a set of other nuclear and
missile cases.
