The fact that nuclear weapons have the potential to wipe out all life on earth has not stifled debate over whether or not they are in fact beneficial to international peace and stability. Indeed, in the 1980′s, Kenneth Waltz, a prominent International Relations scholar, advocated spreading nuclear weapons to states to better the chances of world peace, while there have also been a swathe of disarmament campaigns, the most recent being Global Zero.
KDS is hosting this debate to help unravel this complex topic and to provide an opportunity to all to voice their opinion on the matter. Govinda Clayton, lecturer in International Conflict Analysis at Kent, will also be giving a short lecture on the issue before our debate. The debate will be held in Keynes LT6, at 6pm this Tuesday.
This is Kent Debating’s first event of the academic year, and all are welcome to a debate that is set to be interesting, exciting and engaging. Be sure to come along! Don’t forget that you can also sign up to become a member of Kent Debating for a small fee of £3.
See you on Tuesday!
