This only gets worse as we approach November! Maybe President Biden and former President Trump should have a press conference and issue a joint statement disavowing all political violence in this country.

Spotlight on Nuclear Weapons Issues

Join Daisy Alliance every month for a virtual discussion on salient nuclear weapons issues.

Next up: “Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations: Power Relations in a Post-Obama Era” with Dr. Gregory Hall
May 17 at 7:00pm

Daisy Alliance’s Executive Director, Dr. Gregory Hall will be discussing his latest book, Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations: Power Relations in a Post-Obama Era. The publisher’s summary states, “Examining US-China-Russia Foreign Relations explores the changing nature and function of the US-China-Russia strategic triangle from the end of the Cold War up to the present. Gregory Hall uses neoclassical realist international relations (IR) theory to argue that, since the mid-2000s, the politics of the strategic triangle have been increasingly influenced by factors related to the Big 3 countries’ respective domestic environments. Hall utilizes agency and context for each of the three great powers, expanding on previously established frameworks to include a comparative analysis of each actor’s domestic environment for foreign policy and the interplay between the domestic and external contexts. In IR terms, the book identifies and illustrates how factors including systemic, state and societal, individuals, and small groups influence the foreign relations of the Big 3. Hall concludes by exploring the future prospects for great power relations and for global affairs. Incorporating both theoretical and empirical data to offer a fresh and timely look at the myriad challenges facing the three powers, this book provides an excellent companion to students of foreign policy, international security, and post-Cold War international politics.

Next up: “From St. Louis to Hiroshima: Nuclear Architecture, Colonialism, and Racism” with Dr. Yuki Miyamoto
April 6 at 7:00pm

What is the relationship between St. Louis and Hiroshima? Unlike the government owned Manhattan Project sites of Hanford (WA), Los Alamos (NM), and Oak Ridge (TN), it is less known the role St. Louis played by enriching uranium, imported from Belgian Congo. The uranium was used to produce the Hiroshima bomb. The residue from the Manhattan Project and the subsequent arms race has been harming the residents and their environment in the St. Louis area to this day. Tracing back to the Manhattan Project, Dr. Miyamoto’s talk will discuss how nuclear architecture—the structure based on colonialism and racism—prioritizes the production of nuclear materials over the destruction of human beings and our environment, instead of exclusively focusing on the nation-state framework. Nuclear architecture, thus, illuminates that the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not an isolated event in history, but should be placed in the dynamics of colonialism and racism that will illustrate the close link between St. Louis, Hiroshima, and all the sites where people suffer from radiation exposure.

Next up: “Saving the World from Nuclear War” with Dr. Vincent Intondi
March 15 at 7:00pm

Dr. Vincent Intondi, author of African Americans Against the Bomb: Nuclear Weapons, Colonialism, and the Black Freedom Movement, will be discussing his latest book, Saving the World from Nuclear War. A brief summary of the book states, “On June 12, 1982, one million people filled the streets of New York City and rallied in Central Park to show support for the United Nations’ Second Special Session on Disarmament. They demanded an end to the nuclear arms race and called for a shift from military funds to money allocated for human needs. In Saving the World from Nuclear War, Vincent J. Intondi draws on archival materials and interviews with rally organizers and activists in Central Park to explore this demonstration from its inception through the months of organizing, recruiting, and planning, to the historic day itself.”

Next up: “Challenging the Primacy of Nuclear Weapons in US Security Policy” with Holly Lindamood
February 15 at 7:00pm

Since the Cold War, the US nuclear posture has generally remained static, with an over-reliance on nuclear weapons in national security policy. The Biden Administration’s nuclear posture review, which was publicly released in October 2022, maintains similar postures as past administrations, continuing with large-scale modernization plans initiated by the Obama Administration, as well as the low-yield SLBM program launched by the Trump Administration. But does the existing US nuclear posture really keep us safe? In her talk, Daisy Alliance’s Associate Director Holly Lindamood will discuss how the existing national security framework guides US nuclear weapons policies, whether all aspects of US nuclear arsenal modernization plans are actually necessary, and the effects of current US policy on international security. She will also propose meaningful policy changes the US can take to reduce reliance on nuclear weapons.
