<p> Nuclear Arms Control in the Middle East and South Asia <br>
Professor Chomsky, widely acknowledged as one of America's leading
public intellectuals, will discuss nuclear weapons in the Middle
East and the prospects for a Nuclear Weapon Free Zone. </p>
<p>Despite the end of the Cold War over two decades ago, nuclear
weapons continue to be at the center of debates that dominate
international relations today. Yet, the search for a world without
nuclear weapons remains as elusive as ever.
<br>
<br>
Thousands of strategic nuclear weapons remain in the arsenals of
the US and Russia and hundreds of tactical nuclear weapons are
still deployed in Europe without any rationale. The presence of
nuclear weapons real or perceived threaten peace in other parts of
the world.</p>
