Scoping Future Nuclear Proliferation Risks: Emerging Trends in Sociocultural Modeling and Analysis
Abstract
Objective: To anticipate the likelihood of successful nuclear acquisition, one must identify key
constituencies within a polity of concern and assess the internal sociocultural
drivers that shape thinking and decision-making on WMD/WME issues. This
project seeks to strengthen and refine sociocultural analytic frameworks designed
to anticipate WMD aspirants and isolate points of leverage within those national
communities in order to disrupt or shift weapons aspirations.
