“A look at the global nuclear security landscape”
Abstract: 
 
I will provide a perspective of the nuclear security landscape around the world – from concerns about a return to the Cold War with Russia and on entering a new one with China, to the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran. I will also touch on the dangers of a nuclear confrontation between India and Pakistan as well as assess the risks of global nuclear terrorism.
