Description
The threat of nuclear war has once again emerged as a focus of IR scholarship, and critical approaches to nuclear weapons are resurging in the context of a ‘new nuclear age’. In this dangerous new era, nuclear crises intersect with other global crises; such as climate change, conventional conflicts, militarism, misogyny, racism, imperialism, and populism. This panel draws together a diverse range of papers that explore the intersectional politics of nuclear weapons. Through an examination of nuclear weapons and their relation to different issues, identities, temporalities, and contexts, these papers broaden our understanding of nuclear weapons policy and disarmament advocacy, and call for a rethinking of political possibilities in the global nuclear order.
