Each author contributed a chapter. The contents are: Nuclear Issues in the Post-September 11 Era: Emerging Trends by Bruno Tertrais; Nuclear Energy Issues: Global Dimensions and Security Challenges by Frank Umbach; Proliferation and Non-Proliferation: What's Changed-What Hasn't? by Jon B. Wolfstahl; Non-Proliferation: Possible New Trends after September 11 by Alexander A. Pikayev; Nuclear deterrence Issues in the Post-September 11 World: An American Perspective by Michael O. Wheeler; The Nuclear Balance of Terror and September 11 by Brad Roberts; Nuclear Weapons after September 11 by Lewis A. Dunn; September 11 and the Need for International Nuclear Agreements by Michael May; and Appendix. In the fall of 2002, the Foundation for Strategic Research convened a small group of high-level experts on nuclear policy issues to discuss the consequences of September 11 and of the 'war on terrorism' for nuclear debates. Participants met in Paris on September 26-27, 2002, and later provided papers which are reproduced here. This project was sponsored by the French Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA). As Bruno Tertrais noted: What have been the effects of September 11 and the subsequent war on terrorism on the contemporary nuclear debate? This paper will argue that while they have not radically altered this debate, they have significantly impacted all nuclear policy issues. The degree to which they have affected these debates varies according to the issues. The events of September 11, the Afghan campaign, the anthrax scare, as well as the continued war on terror and the Iraq crisis, have emphasized the risks of nuclear terrorism in various forms. They have impacted the energy debate in several different ways, prompting the nuclear industry to review security practices and raising the spectre of attacks against power plants, but also questioning the overreliance of industrialized nations on oil from unstable regions which provide breeding grounds for terrorism. They have heightened the fear of weapons or fissile material getting in the hands of rogue regimes or non-State actors, altered the terms of the nuclear non-proliferation and arms control debate, and raised serious questions about the meaning and efficiency of deterrence. The other authors were equally insightful as they introduced their individual contributions.…
