A nuclear war between great powers would mean the collapse of human civilisation – and could lead to the irreversible breakdown of global society. Rhys Lewis-Jones argues that humanity faces an existential nuclear threat that demands deliberate and urgent action
Tutor and PhD Candidate, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University
Rhys' PhD thesis involves a conceptual synthesis of Nathan Sears' 'existential security' framework and Rita Floyd's normative securitisation theories in a nuclear politics context.
He looks to outline a competing framework to the neorealist and just war theorist's case for nuclear deterrence.
Rhys also has a special interest in nonstrategic nuclear weapons and great-power 'hot war' scenarios.
