Structuring Cooperative Nuclear Risk Reduction Initiatives with China
Abstract
The Stanford Center for International Security and Cooperation
(CISAC) has done extensive research on the diverse U.S.-Russian
cooperative nonproliferation programs. This project will build on
that body of work to examine a range of specific cooperative
options that might be implemented to improve joint U.S. and China
capabilities to better manage regional nuclear threats and crisis
scenarios.
CISAC will consider status monitoring, abnormal event information
availability and uncertainty, escalation of defense postures in times
of crisis, protocols for international information sharing in instances
where joint action is needed, and technical/decision systems that
might provide the basis for a successful response.
