Renewed calls for a nuclear weapons-free world sparked a wide academic debate on both the attainability of such a goal and the steps that should be eventually taken along the road to “global zero”. Comparably less attention, however, has been paid to theoretically informed considerations of the consequences of nuclear abolition, including its possible systemic and sub-systemic impacts, the strategic implications for global and regional stability, and generally the general influence of the abolition on relations among relevant actors of IR.
The academic conference held on the first day of The Prague Agenda 2013 will feature presentations from some of the leading scholars on this matter as well as public discussions, with the aim to cover a wide range of relevant aspects of nuclear disarmament, from its fundamental theoretical and conceptual foundations to various global and regional perspectives.
