If the liberal international order falls, the nuclear nonproliferation regime falls with it.
Council on Foreign Relations

Friends and colleagues,

 

For those who might be interested, here is a recent essay I did for the Foreign Policy Association's Great Decisions 2026 volume:

 

The Third Nuclear Age: Trump, the Order, and the Bomb (PDF)

The gist: Everybody should understand that if the liberal international order falls, the nuclear nonproliferation regime falls with it. And if the administration continues on its current course, that's where we're heading.

 

As always, all comments and feedback greatly appreciated.
