Amy Nelson

Amy J. Nelson is a David M. Rubenstein Fellow in the Foreign Policy program and with the Strobe Talbott Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology. Her research focuses on emerging, evolving, and disruptive technologies and their impact on proliferation, as well as improving the efficacy of arms control. Her dissertation argues that current best practices for arms control negotiations offer expedient negotiation strategies that facilitate reaching an agreement under high-uncertainty conditions by promoting “risk reduction” through limitations on weapons, and restrictions on the scope, scale, and duration of agreements.
