Josef Joffe in <i>Foreign Affairs</i>: Less than Zero

joffe fa2
Previous attempts at total nuclear disarmament have failed, as strategic logic and state interest have prevailed over wishful thinking, write Josef Joffe, FSI senior fellow, Abramovitz Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and editor of Die Zeit, and James W. Davis, professor of political science and director, Center for Security Economics and Technology at the University of St. Gallen, in the Jan/Feb. issue of Foreign Affairs. For similar reasons, they argue, a similar fate awaits the Global Zero movement, which calls for "the phased, verified elimination of nuclear weapons worldwide."
