The Remaining Tactical Nuclear Weapons in Europe

Abstract

The purpose of this workshop will be to discuss the rationale behind the presence of tactical nuclear weapons in five non-nuclear-weapon countries in Europe, as well as the feasibility of their potential removal. This subject will be inspected in the broader context of (1) the changing European security context and the role of nuclear weapons therein, (2) the presence of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons in nuclear-weapon countries in Europe, and (3) the recent political developments and their influence on the nuclear disarmament agenda.
