Under what conditions would the democracies in Northeast Asia seek to join the nuclear weapons club? Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are threshold nuclear powers by virtue of their robust civilian nuclear energy programs. All three once pursued nuclear weapons and all face growing security threats from nuclear-armed adversaries. IISS-Americas Executive Director Mark Fitzpatrick's latest book, Asia's Latent Nuclear Powers, analyzes these past nuclear pursuits and current proliferation drivers.

Please join the IISS for a discussion and Q&A session on Asia's Latent Nuclear Powers and nuclear diplomacy in Northeast Asia with  Executive Director Mark Fitzpatrick  and Robert Gallucci, former State Department special envoy and dean of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. This event is on the record and will be webcast live on the IISS website. Copies of the book are available for sale on our website or after the event.
