The Bomb: Will Asia Go Nuclear?

Is Asia on the verge of a nuclear arms race? As anxieties grow about China’s military buildup and about the reliability of the United States, will countries such as South Korea and Japan go nuclear? And what will this mean for Australia?

Join us at the launch of the latest issue of Australian Foreign Affairs – The Bomb: Will Asia Go Nuclear? – which explores changes in the region that have left countries such as Australia contemplating previously unthinkable options.

Brendan Taylor, Stephan Frühling and Rajeswari Pillai Rajagopalan discuss China’s nuclear strategy, the nuclear breakout options for South Korea and Japan, and the prospect of an Australian Manhattan Project.
