Missiles
are a critical component of a country’s nuclear weapons arsenal, which
is one reason why concern over missile proliferation is widespread among
policy experts. Yet, there is no consensus on how to respond to the WMD
missile challenge.
This week, the Bulletin closes the third and final round of our debate on this difficult topic, and asks what, if anything, can be done to constrain the spread of missile technology. Our distinguished panel of authors includes Waheguru Pal Singh (WPS) Sidhu, senior fellow at NYU’s Center on International Cooperation and a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution; Masako Ikegami, professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology and the previous director of the Center for Pacific Asia Studies at Stockholm University; and Sitki Egeli, a former foreign relations director of Turkey’s Undersecretariat for Defense Industries who currently teaches at Izmir University of Economics. Read on for more insights on how the world should respond to missile proliferation. Round 1: Why missile proliferation is so hard to stop, by WPS Sidhu Missiles: The hidden force behind nuclear proliferation, by Masako Ikegami How to revitalize missile nonproliferation, by Sitki Egeli Round 2: Missile proliferation—and ideas that might work, by WPS Sidhu How to prevent theater nuclear warfare, by Masako Ikegami How an emphasis on drones harms missile controls, by Sitki Egeli Round 3: To reduce missile threats, think outside the silo, by WPS Sidhu Half-measures won't stop missile proliferation, by Masako Ikegami Sitki Egeli's final entry is posting this week.
