This course examines the threats posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, commonly known as weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and how these dangers can be managed. The course provides an in-depth understanding of the history and technology of each of these weapons, the current challenges posed by these weapons, and the range of national and international responses to these threats. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with the influence of strategy, technology, politics, organizations, and norms on the causes and consequences of the proliferation of WMD.
