Climate Change, Deterrence, War, and Nuclear Winter

How is Climate Change linked to war? We talk about this and more with Professor Neta Crawford in this second episode of the podcast series. Professor Crawford is Montague Burton Chair in International Relations, and also holds a Professorial Fellowship at Balliol College. In this episode, we discuss nuclear winter, the pitfalls of deterrence theory as being built upon the institutionalization of fear, her path-breaking recent work on The Pentagon, Climate Change, and War (MIT Press, 2022) and hear Prof. Crawford elaborate on her research interests that include military greenhouse gas emissions, US foreign and military policy, peace movements, and emotion!
