Johan Galtung and Diane Perlman on “The Nuclear Mystique”:
Will this "Nuclear Spring" be a time when humankind can make progress in preventing a Nuclear Winter? World leaders, the media, and global citizens are grappling with dangers posed by the presence of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. There is an absurd discrepancy between the desire of most people in the world to eliminate nuclear weapons from the face of the earth, and the flawed and provocative mechanisms being applied to this problem - including the START Treaty, the Nuclear Posture Review, the Nuclear Security Summit, the 2010 UN Nuclear Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York this May, and the 65th anniversary of the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki August 6 & 9. In The Nuclear Mystique, Drs. Galtung and Perlman will address the deeper dimensions of the nuclear issue and the potential role of conflict analysis experts.
