Here are some of the most important pieces the Bulletin has published on the implications of history’s only use of nuclear weapons in warfare.  Disarmament over deterrence: Nuclear lessons from Latin America Christopher Dunlap | Voices of Tomorrow   A path to disarmament-based security is viable; Latin American and Caribbean visionaries gave us the road map at Tlatelolco a half-century ago.   Disruptive Technologies North Korea’s other weapons of mass destruction  Alexandra Bell, Abby Pokraka | Analysis The US needs to work with allies to assess the scope of North Korea’s stockpile of biological and chemical weapons. DARPA’s Prepare program: Preparing for what?  Filippa Lentzos, Jez Littlewood | Columnists   Much bio-defense work is justifiable, but DARPA’s new “gene-tuning” program may well push the limits of what is allowable under international security treaties. Special Issue: Missile Defense Deterrence and its discontents Ulrich Kühn | Magazine Psychoanalytic metaphors are used to explain why the US doesn’t (but should) have a long-term strategy for dealing with its most fundamental foreign policy challenges. Free-access in the digital magazine. Myths of automation and their implications for military procurement Robert R. Hoffman, Nadine Sarter, Matthew Johnson, John K. Hawley  Magazine One needn’t be a Luddite to recognize that “technophilic hubris” is causing problems in military procurement. Free-access in the digital magazine. What We’re Reading Hot but not bothered: Major media are ignoring the climate crisis Dawn Stover | Climate Change   It’s not just a TV problem; newspaper coverage is also failing to connect recent extreme heat to the climate change that’s causing it.   The coastal retreat has begun Lucien Crowder | Climate Change   After sea-level rise causes a New Jersey neighborhood to repeatedly flood, the government purchases the land to prevent future development.
