    • Symposium: The Future of World Order and Nuclear Weapons: Thinking from Hiroshima
    National Security and Japan-U.S. Program

    International Symposium

    The Future of World Order and Nuclear Weapons, Thinking from Hiroshima

    Where We Are Today in Deterrence, Strategy, Disarmament, Arms Control, and Humanitarian Impact


    On July 1, 2023, the Japan-U.S. Program of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF) will host an international symposium in cooperation with the Center for Peace of Hiroshima University.

    The war in Ukraine has raised a grave concern about escalation of competition among great powers and the possible invoking of changes to the status quo in the region. In this international symposium, we will discuss what changes the nuclear deterrence, nuclear strategy, nuclear disarmament and arms control that we know of are beginning to show, in this environment, in terms of nature and assumptions in international politics. We also talk about how nuclear issues should be viewed as part of the global agenda amid the transformation and multipolarization of international order.
