| Back from the Brink: A Talk with Hans Blix
Andelman, David A; Pauker, Benjamin
World Policy Journal, Fall 2009, v26, #3, pp15-20
"The big debate these days seems to be the issue of whether we can realistically move toward a world of zero nuclear weapons or whether we will find ourselves with a number of new, nuclear states. Is “zero” a viable scenario or is the existence of multiple nuclear states—hence a complex web of deterrence—more manageable, more secure, and more stable in the end?"
Hans Blix served as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and in 2000–03 as Head of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC), where he headed the international inspection efforts for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Most recently, he served as the Chairman of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, a private global initiative to prevent their spread. Blix was interviewed by telephone from Stockholm by World Policy Journal editor David A. Andelman and managing editor Benjamin Pauker, with the participation of Jackie Simon, United States bureau chief of Politique Internationale.
