The nuclear paradox: deterrence and disarmament at odds

Original: The nuclear paradox: Why the world wants both deterrence and disarmament

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is examining what it calls the nuclear paradox: governments and publics simultaneously rely on nuclear deterrence for security while officially supporting disarmament. The piece explores why states keep modernising arsenals despite treaty commitments to reduce them, and how that contradiction shapes arms control debates at a time of renewed geopolitical tension.

Why now: Renewed great-power tensions and modernisation of nuclear arsenals have revived debate over whether deterrence and disarmament can coexist.
