Dr Megan Dee is a Senior Lecturer in International Politics at the University of Stirling. Her research concerns international organisation, negotiation and governance, with particular specialism in the performance of state and non-state actor networks and coalitions within the NPT and wider nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament regime complex.
Megan is a member of the Working Group on Nuclear Disarmament Negotiations at the Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament, Uppsala University, Sweden, and leads the University of Stirling’s Centre for Policy, Conflict and Cooperation Research in the European Network for Independent Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Think Tanks. She has published extensively on the politics, process and players within NPT review negotiations, including in several top-ranking journals such as International Studies Quarterly, Contemporary Security Policy, Politics and Governance, and The Hague Journal of Diplomacy. Megan’s current research addresses the discourses and framing of nuclear responsibilities within an NPT framework, working also in collaboration with BASIC’s Nuclear Responsibilities Programme.
Megan Dee explores a third nuclear age in which distrust, deadlock and disorder impinge multilateral mechanisms for dialogue and deliberation. Ahead of the 2025 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Preparatory Committee in New York (27 April-10 May), this piece considers how minilateralism can sustain dialogue and revive multilateralism in this space.
