After Fission: Recognition and Contestation in the Atomic Age
After Fission: Recognition and Contestation in the Atomic Age is a talks & classes event at Encina Hall in Palo Alto on Tuesday, October 27 at 12:00 PM.
About this event
About the event: Nuclear status is typically treated as a stable feature of a state's capacity to possess, use, or build nuclear weapons. Challenging this view, After Fission reveals how states contest their nuclear status in the atomic age. By examining the legal structure of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, technical ambiguities surrounding nuclear testing, and debates over rights and responsibilities in the global nuclear regime, Sidra Hamidi argues that a state's nuclear status is not simply a function of technical capability.
