21ST SUMMER COURSE

"NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN A VULNERABLE WORLD"

ROVERETO (TRENTO) - ITALY
9-18 AUGUST, 2000

ISODARCO has been organizing residential courses on disarmament and arms
control since 1966, and has already held twenty summer courses and
thirteen winter courses. The courses are intended for people already
having a professional interest in the problems of disarmament and
conflicts, or for those who would like to play a more active and
technically competent role in this field. The courses have an
interdisciplinary nature, and their subject matters extend from the
technical and scientific side of the problems to their sociological and
political implications.

>From scientific discoveries prior to World War II to the Manhattan
Project and the use of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, the course will
take the participant through the Cold war Arms Race to the post Cold War
developments. How have these weapons of mass destruction affected
political systems, relations among nations? What are the prospects for
their control, management and elimination?
