On 8 December 2022, the Politics, Philosophy and Economics Society at the University of Warwick invited Dr Cameron Hunter, from the University of Leicester, to provide a lecture on whether nuclear weapons are relevant in today’s society. 

Dr Hunter engaged the audience on how different governments view their political relevance, nuclear threat as a deterrent, and how “conventional” militaries have been nuclearised and denuclearised in the past.

The talk was well-received with an extended Q&A due to audience interest. Dr Hunter is currently working on finalising the East Asia case study for the Third Nuclear Age project.
