Reconciling Israeli Democracy with Nuclear Policy
A new report by Professor Avner Cohen and United World College Fellow Brandon Mok examines how four Western democratic nuclear-weapon states--the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Israel--handle the essential tension between nuclear weapons (which require secrecy) and liberal democracy.
Dr. Cohen presented his findings at an unprecedented hearing at the Israeli Supreme Court of Justice on September 6, to hear a petition calling for regulation of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission. The
Jerusalem Post published an exclusive story on the report.

Nonproliferation Review
Now Offers "Online First" Publishing
The
Nonproliferation Review, CNS's double-blind, peer-reviewed journal, now offers "online first" publishing. Authors published in the
NPR can now share their work more quickly with a wider audience, without having to wait for the entire issue to go to print.
Two articles from our forthcoming issue, which features a special section on "Nuclear Asia," are now available: Christopher J. Watterson revisits the 1999 Kargil War between India and Pakistan to test two competing causal logics behind the stability-instability paradox, and Akira Kurosaki presents a historical analysis of Japan's nuclear policy as it formed during the 1960s.
To learn more about the new journal policy, contact
Managing Editor Rhianna Tyson Kreger.
