Nuclear weapons policy is central to national security policy, requiring a nuanced understanding of the interaction of cutting-edge science and technology, international relations, bureaucratic and domestic politics, as well as esoteric ideas like deterrence and game theory. GW is a global leader in nuclear security policy education, and, drawing on the scientific prowess of the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium, has created a Nuclear Security Policy Boot Camp to orient graduate students and policy practitioners to these complex issues in one week.
