Foreign Policy Institute Fellow Deepti Choubey examines how nuclear-armed and non-nuclear-weapon states view the relationship between preventing nuclear terrorism and reducing and eliminating nuclear weapons. The MacArthur-supported report identifies several hidden assumptions that, if left unaddressed, run the risk of undermining support for the global nuclear security mission, setting unrealistic expectations about disarmament, and hindering progress on both agendas. The report makes recommendations for the 2015 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference and the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit.
