SUMMARY:A Luncheon & Discussion On: Nuclear Proliferation and Military Intervention with Iran
DESCRIPTION:The United States government made the decision to wage a military operation against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28th of this year. There are now discussions surrounding conflict escalation in a country that has 92 million people\, a land mass greater than California and Texas combined\, and around 1000 pounds of enriched uranium. The current and future foreign policy between the United States and the Middle East is fluid and dynamic. \n\n\n\nDr. Whitlark will discuss these factors and how this conflict may affect arms negotiations in the future in other regions and with other adversaries.  \n\n\n\nPlease join for an invigorating discussion on nuclear proliferation in Iran\, and the United States desperate attempt to prevent Iran from getting The Bomb. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel WhitlarkAssociate Professor of International Affairs at Georgia Tech \nRachel Whitlark is a political scientist and associate professor of international affairs. Her interests lie within international security and foreign-policy decision making\, specifically including nuclear proliferation\, counter proliferation\, and military intervention.  \n\n\n\nMuch of her work investigates the role of the individual executive in foreign and security policy. Her book\, All Options on the Table: Leaders\, Preventive War\, and Nuclear Proliferation\, published in 2021 by Cornell University Press\, explores the use of preventive military force as a counter-proliferation strategy against adversarial nuclear programs and relies on archival research techniques. Additional projects examine the targeting of nuclear scientists as a counter-proliferation strategy\, the determinants of arms control negotiation success\, and presidential beliefs about nuclear coercion.  \n\n\n\nPrior to coming to Georgia Tech\, Dr. Whitlark held fellowships with the Project on Managing the Atom and International Security Program within the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government\, as well as with the Massachusetts Instate of Technology’s Security Studies Program.  \n\n\n\nDr. Whitlark received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the George Washington University\, holds a Master’s degree from Stanford\, and a B.A. also from George Washington. Professor Whitlark is originally from Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
