Help! At the ISA conference a year ago, I glancingly noticed that some academic publisher had a new book out on the MBFR arms control process of the 1970s and 1980s. Now I need the book but can't find any references to it. Does anybody know what this book is? 🙏 #NATO #armscontrol #ColdWar #strategy

Contradictory results? Our interpretation is that the film highlights the danger and power of #nuclearweapons, increasing support for managing them through negotiations without unilateral disarmament — consistent with the EU’s emphasis on #armscontrol over #disarmament

Using IPW and PSM to correct for these biases, we find the film increased support for #armscontrol negotiations, but not for unilateral #disarmament, opposition to #nuclearproliferation, or opposition to #nuclearweapons use.

Both the #armscontrol and #nucleardisarmament communities hoped the film would rekindle public debate about #nuclearweapons. Indeed, according to narrative persuasion theory, movies are prime vehicles to move attitudes.

Thanks to a happy accident, @profonderco.bsky.social and I collected two datasets on attitudes toward #nuclearweapons before and after the release of #Oppenheimer. This inadvertent design lets us test whether the film shifted attitudes toward #armscontrol and #nucleardisarmament. 🧵

The End of Treaty Nostalgia: Arms Control After New START New START’s expiration highlights the limits of arms control frameworks designed for an earlier era of bilateral rivalry.

A cartoon featuring a weathered peace symbol painted on a round sign standing on a wooden post against a muted gray background. The sign is cracked, stained with blood and torn but remains upright. Along the bottom of the image is the caption: “On this day in 1958, the peace symbol was born.”

On this day in 1958, the peace symbol was “born” in England to protest nuclear weapons.

This month, the last nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia expired.

We need peace now more than ever.
