The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) is working to reduce the global threats from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. NTI is co-chaired by Ted Turner and Sam Nunn.
 
This material was produced independently for NTI by the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. In this tutorial, you will learn: what the treaty says, why it's important, how it works, how the treaty came into being, the key challenges that face the NPT today, what its proponents and critics say and prospects for the future. Copyright © 2004 by MIIS.
 
What would the world look like if there were no NPT? It has provided the standard that has restrained many countries from pursuing nuclear weapons. Without it, would there be 20 or 30 countries with nuclear weapons or pursuing nuclear weapons?
 
Forty Years after Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, US Tops World in Nuke Arsenal, Interview with Joe Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund and author of Bomb Scare: The History and Future of Nuclear Weapons on Democracy Now! 07/02/08
 
Report by a Joint Working Group of AAAS, the American Physical Society, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, December 2008
The purpose of this report is to inform the next administration’s decision-making on U.S. nuclear strategy, policy, posture, and related proliferation and arms control issues. Any decision that the United States makes with respect to its own nuclear stockpile and infrastructure must also address how these decisions (and perceptions of those decisions) may affect U.S. efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and pursue lower global inventories of nuclear weapons. To address 21st century nuclear threats, and growing challenges to sustaining the U.S. nuclear deterrent, the next administration should build a package of nuclear initiatives that can attract broad support both at home and abroad. This study seeks to identify the components of a new centrist way forward to end the post-Cold War drift on U.S. nuclear strategy, policy, and capabilities.

USIP President Richard H. Solomon moderated.
