Emerging Voices Network
BASIC’s Emerging Voices Network is a sustainable global network of high-potential, early career technical and policy experts who have begun to inherit the responsibility to manage nuclear threats. The Network stands at over 250 members representing more than 50 nationalities, building their capacities through dedicated policy cycle trainings, masterclasses, peer-to-peer mentoring, and other networking activities.
Non-Proliferation and Disarmament
BASIC works with governments, academics, think tanks and journalists to build momentum behind innovative, practical steps towards nuclear arms control and disarmament. Using our tried and tested methodology around dialogue and active listening, we work collaboratively with states to help them identify and overcome the barriers to multilateral disarmament. We see this as a critical principled and pragmatic enterprise that has to absorb competing political and social objectives at national and international level.
Responsibilities and Global Governance
The Programme on Responsibilities and Global Governance supports officials, researchers and journalists in understanding the deep conceptions of responsibility that shape the ways states behave around nuclear weapons. By hosting roundtables and strategic dialogues around the world, we are working with nuclear and non-nuclear states to come to a common understanding of what more responsible behaviours might look like.
Risk Reduction
BASIC monitors and analyses strategic relationships among the P5 and between NWS and NNWS to assess how shifts in the relationship impact upon strategic nuclear risks. We provide timely and practical recommendations for how to reduce these risks and maintain stability, so that states can focus on building trust and working on disarmament.
Past Programmes
BASIC believes in making progress on nuclear disarmament, arms control, and non-proliferation through multiple complementary approaches. We continuously develop our programmes – streams of research – through sustained engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, collectively searching for the art of the possible.
