Furthermore, this course will provide students with an overview of the interaction between different technical, legal and policy aspects of nuclear safeguards.

  • This e-Collection is a repository for basic nonproliferation and arms control readings and for relevant media files. It contains a large number of conference recordings, interviews, lectures by CNS staff and other experts, as well as self paced tutorials and glossaries. The e-Collection is designed to provide a basic understanding of the most important nonproliferation and arms control concepts, treaties, organizations, and challenges. The e-Collection will be continuously updated. Your comments and suggestions will help make this resource more valuable.

The e-Collection consists of audio/video presentations and interviews with key policy makers and practitioners, supplemented by reading materials, documentary films, as well as other useful resources such as on-line tutorials. etc. Students enrolled in the Monterey Institute's Nuclear Nonproliferation J-term course are required to work through the e-Collection, and complete the various assignments.

  • During the summer the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies conduct two programs for undergraduate nonproliferation education programs: Summer Undergraduate Nonproliferation Internship Program, and Davis United World College Nonproliferation Fellowship Program.

    Since 1997, CNS has offered a summer internship for undergraduate students. Interns at CNS have come from a wide variety of majors, including Biology, International Relations, East Asian Studies and Peace Studies, and from colleges and universities throughout the U.S., including Stanford University, Pomona College, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, and University of California, Berkeley. CNS started the Davis UWC fellowship program in 2006. In addition to assigned research work, interns and Davis UWC fellows are encouraged to develop their own research projects under the guidance of CNS staff. As part of the training aspect of the internship/fellowship program, interns/fellows attend seminars and lectures held at CNS throughout the summer.

  • The Summer Undergraduate Internship in Nonproliferation Studies at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) is a paid internship. Interns will work with CNS staff members on substantive issues for one of the following Nonproliferation Programs: Newly Independent States; East Asia; Chemical and Biological Weapons; International Organizations; or the Nonproliferation Education Group. The research interests of CNS also cover WMD Terrorism and Space Security Issues. In addition to assigned research work, interns developed their own research projects under the guidance of CNS staff. As part of the training aspect of the internship program, interns attend seminars and lectures held at CNS throughout the summer. The duration of the internship should be two to four months between late May and early September.
  • CNS Visiting Fellows Program is designed to provide participants from around the world  with extensive training on nonproliferation and arms control issues.  Through a combination of tutorials, seminars, and independent research, visiting fellows become acquainted with the history of the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other aspects of the nonproliferation field. Topics addressed include current proliferation problems from a variety of perspectives, arms control negotiations, weapons technologies, international organizations, international nonproliferation regimes, and an overview of the U.S. government agencies that coordinate U.S. nonproliferation policy

  • The ELAN VirtualCommunity is a space for former, current, and future ELAN participants to meet, reunite with friends, exchange ideas, and build a community of practice for the nonproliferation of nuclear and biological materials, equipment, and expertise through a culture of safety and security.

  • This course will survey the issues related to the proliferation of nuclear weapons, provide an introduction to nuclear and radiological terrorism, and introduce students to the international regime designed to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

  • Language of Diplomacy is a custom content-based course for Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade clients in the Custom Language Service.

  • This course is a directed study, interactive course for the advanced student. Students will be required to write a paper on an allocated, practical aspect of the verification of nuclear arms control and participate in a class simulation to design a verification regime for specified scenarios. The course will be held throughout the Fall 2009 semester on a single full day (9am – 6pm) per month. The course will consist of: approaches to verification; the specifics of nuclear weapons dismantlement; verification of declarations of nuclear weapon stocks; confirming weapon elimination; confirming the prohibition of weapon remanufacture and absence of hidden stockpiles.
    Students are expected to be familiar with the basics of nuclear arms control, terminology, history, treaties and international organizations.
