Nuclear energy is back at the centre of politics, but that doesn't guarantee a nuclear revival. Jan Nathrath shows why political enthusiasm alone cannot deliver new reactors and how geopolitical competition is reshaping access to international nuclear cooperation. For many Western newcomer states, the near-term prospects for nuclear deployment depend on whether alternative vendors can demonstrate reliable project delivery
Jan specialises in energy security, energy geopolitics, and the political legitimation of energy technologies.
He recently completed his PhD in International Relations at Nottingham Trent University.
His doctoral research explored how the meanings of energy security and nuclear energy are co-constructed through elite and media discourse in oil-poor states across the Middle East and North Africa.
His research examines the strategic narratives and political imaginaries surrounding energy technologies, with a particular interest in how material energy system conditions shape political discourse and processes of legitimation.
