Benoît Pelopidas est fondateur du programme d'études des savoirs nucléaires Nuclear Knowledges (le premier programme universitaire français de recherche sur le phénomène nucléaire, indépendant et transparent sur ses sources de financements, qui refuse explicitement tout financement de parties prenantes à l'avenir de l'arsenal nucléaire français afin d'éviter et de problématiser le conflit d'intérêts) et chercheur associé au CISAC à l'Université Stanford. L'équipe de Nuclear Knowledges se saisit du travail de ThomasC. Schelling sous l'angle de son rôle dans la formulation de catégories essentielles du vocabulaire utilisé jusqu'à aujourd'hui, de la circulation des catégories d'analyse qu'il propose et de leur réception. Cet entretien vise à saisir certains apports et limites du travail de Schelling sur les questions de stratégies dans le domaine auquel il a été le plus traditionnellement associé: l'armement nucléaire et la dissuasion. Il a été réalisé par Natália Frozel Barros, doctorante en science politique (CESSP), et Alessio Motta, docteur en science politique (CESSP), le 21février2019 à Paris (CERI, Sciences Po).

The use of nuclear deterrence to maintain peace in Europe is updated.

France has revised its nuclear deterrence policy in response to its strategic situation, & in the process has realized the merit of persuading Europe of the value of deterrence. Reasons for questioning deterrence are outlined; its continuing virtues are explained. A role for nuclear deterrence in Europe's defense strategy is described & illustrated in the case of an accord obtained in 2003 with Iran. Adapted from the source document.

The continuing worth of French nuclear deterrence is elaborated. Despite the end of Cold-War hostility, the world situation is unstable & unpredictable.

In this article, Ambassador Gutmann reminds us of the topicality & pivotal importance of nuclear weapons, regardless of the opinions of those who see them as redundant or who consider the concept of deterrence to be outdated.
