Science, Technology and Global Security
Working Group

The Science, Technology and Global Security Working Group (STGS) is dedicated to making the world a safer and better place for humanity by providing independent and unbiased analyses of scientific and technical questions that affect world peace.  These include, but are not limited to, understanding and explaining to the policy makers and the general public the technical issues underlying nuclear disarmament and proliferation.  Another important goal of our group is to propose new solutions for technical problems that might stand in the way of nuclear disarmament or prevent the world’s nonproliferation regimes from being effectively implemented.

STGS has established itself as a highly regarded independent center for analysis of technical problems in the international security field.  It has unrivaled expertise in nuclear weapons and their effects, sensor technologies, ballistic missiles, early warning systems, basing of nuclear forces, and nuclear fuel cycle issues and how these technical issues shape the political, military and diplomatic dimensions of security.  We have ongoing collaborations with technical groups and leading scholars in China, Russia, Germany, India, Israel and Pakistan -- and also have extensive governmental and non-governmental contacts with individuals and organizations in the UK, France, and Norway, in addition to the countries mentioned above.
