Understanding global security challenges, the role of international treaties and institutions in arms control, the dynamics of US foreign policy, and the impact of nuclear proliferation on regional stability and international relations.

Nuclear proliferation refers to the spread of nuclear weapons, fissionable material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology to states not recognized as "Nuclear-Weapon States" under the NPT.
