A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 7 inches by 10 inches. [2], 50, [2] pages, plus covers. Footnotes, Tabular data. Dr. Brad Roberts has served as director of the Center for Global Security Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory since 2015. From 2009 to 2013, he was deputy assistant secretary of defense for Nuclear and Missile Defense Policy. In this role, he served as policy director of the Obama administration's Nuclear Posture Review and Ballistic Missile Defense Review and led their implementation. Prior to entering government service, Dr. Roberts was a research fellow at the Institute for Defense Analyses and the Center for Strategic and International Studies, editor of The Washington Quarterly, and an adjunct professor at George Washington University. Between leaving the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2013 and assuming his current responsibilities, Dr. Roberts was a consulting professor at Stanford University and William Perry Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC). While at CISAC, he authored a book entitled The Case for US Nuclear Weapons in the 21st Century, which won the Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title in 2016. Doctorate in international relations, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Masters, London School Economics and Political Science; and Bachelors in international relations, Stanford University. From the Introduction by Brad Roberts: From 2004 to 2019, experts from the United States and China came together once or twice a year to discuss nuclear policy. Of the 22 total meetings, half were convened in Beijing and half in Hawaii, with each venue offering particular benefits to the dialogue (in Beijing, direct access to interested stakeholders, in Hawaii a less formal setting and a shared jet-lag burden). Participants included experts from think tanks and academia as well as former and current officials participating in their private capacities. The U.S. and Chinese militaries were also represented at junior and senior levels. Both sides also used the process to encourage the development of successor generation interest and expertise. Over this same period there were only a very small number of nuclear-focused meetings at the official level. This was essentially the only game in town. Such mixed gatherings are referred to as Track 1.5, as opposed to Track 1 (when officials gather for official purposes) or Track 2 (when academic experts meet). On the U.S. side, the dialogue was supported financially by the Department of Defense [via the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)]. Each session was co-organized by one or more U.S.-based think tanks and a Chinese counterpart. Over 15 years, DTRA invested approximately $5 million in the process. In 2019, DTRA terminated its support following declining Chinese participation and growing U.S. frustration with China's failure to agree to an official dialogue. As of late 2020, whether, when, and how to resume official bilateral dialogue remain open questions. To inform thinking about these questions, CGSR proposed to bring together the core group of participants from both sides to take stock of the dialogue process. On September 21 and 22, we convened a virtual workshop involving a dozen experts from each country. Toward that end, CGSR partnered with the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association (CACDA) to organize the event. Our primary purposes were to: review and take stock of two decades of nuclear-focused dialogue better understand the existing bilateral strategic military relationship identify emerging problems and opportunities to improve that relationship. This report is the result. It includes the four discussion papers prepared for the event (as subsequently revised in light of the discussion) as well as a summary that highlights main themes.…
