This working paper by SWP and PRCP chronologically traces nuclear signaling in Russia’s war against Ukraine from autumn 2021 to January 2025, coding 452 Russian and Western public statements. Results show a strong asymmetry: Russia focused on amplifying nuclear risk perceptions, while the West emphasized deterrence, restraint and de-escalation.
Alice Nováková, Karim Kamel, and Elin Bergner argue that integrating Feminist Foreign Policy into nuclear risk reduction can shift security paradigms toward cooperation and human-centered approaches, addressing systemic inequalities and offering inclusive policy paths toward nuclear disarmament.
This working paper written by Robin E. Möser and Michal Onderco examines how African civil society can strengthen its role in global nuclear disarmament debates. It identifies three main barriers: restrictive visa policies, exclusionary expert language, and lack of funding. The authors propose hosting events in accessible locations, simplifying technical jargon, and providing financial support to enhance inclusivity and amplify African voices in nuclear policy discussions.
