How have recent Nuclear Posture Reviews — which outline the role nuclear weapons play in U.S. national security strategy — addressed the question of strategic stability? Here to talk about it is Sharon Weiner, associate professor at American University and currently a visiting research scholar at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School. Dr. Weiner previously served at the Office of Management and Budget, in the Office of Senator Al Franken, the House Armed Services Committee, and more. This talk took place at the University of Texas at Austin and was sponsored by the Clements Center.
