Marianne Hanson traces the ways in which the world has moved ever closer to the danger of using nuclear weapons. She argues that the world today is perilously close to a nuclear conflict – which could happen either by accident or deliberately. President Putin has threatened nuclear use over the conflict in Ukraine, but so too have other leaders in nuclear weapon states, including in Israel, where politicians there have openly considered using these weapons against the population in Gaza. Her talk will explore how nuclearism has become entrenched in our thinking about international security and suggests ways in which we might overcome this danger.
