Saudi Arabia Nuclear Future
Abstract
This project has two principal objectives: first, to generate insights into Saudi Arabia’s nuclear intentions and how these are being influenced by an Iran that appears, at the least, to be engaged in a strategy based on nuclear hedging; and second, to explore the measures that Western powers might adopt to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s commitment to nuclear restraint. The analysis will bring together insights drawn from existing literature on proliferation behaviour and Middle Eastern Studies, as well as background information gathered at the United Nations in New York, at the IAEA in Vienna and in Saudi Arabia itself. The project will also draw on the ideas and views expressed at an expert workshop organised around the theme of ‘Saudi Arabia’s Nuclear Future: Prospects for Proliferation’.
