The Dangers of Denial: Nuclear Weapons in China-India Relations
October 1, 2011
The Lowy Institute for International Policy
Fiona Cunningham and Rory Medcalf
Reports/Studies
In this Lowy Institute Analysis supported by the Nuclear Security Project, Research Associate Fiona Cunningham and International Security Program Director Rory Medcalf warn of growing security risks in the relationship between Asia’s nuclear-armed rising powers China and India. An asymmetry of capabilities and threat perceptions is helping to drive these dangers. The authors call for a strategy stability dialogue to begin between China and India, embedded in a relationship of greater mutual respect, to ensure that possible future confrontations do not involve nuclear threats or misjudgments.

In four op-eds, published in The Wall Street Journal and linked below, they describe their vision of a world without nuclear weapons and the steps to get there.

Gareth Evans
Op-eds/Statements
Gareth Evans, former Australian Foreign Minister, wrote about his concern that "one of the most dispiriting features of today's international debates is that the threat to humanity posed by the world's 23,000 nuclear weapons—and by those who would build more of them, or be only too willing to use them—has been consigned to the margin of politics."
What are the key issues and near-term practical steps necessary to assist in moving now toward a safer and more stable form of deterrence with decreasing nuclear risks and an increasing measure of assured security for all nations?
