Abstract

As part of my main doctoral research project, this particular project will give continuity to the progress achieved in this past year. The project in question - to be conducted at the Department of War Studies of King's College London will focus on mainly three fronts. Firstly, to complete the theoretical step outlined in the main research's methodology, I will focus on the theory-building section of the research, covering the literature gap regarding nuclear symbolism, identity, and nuclear behavior and strategy. Secondly, I will cover the historical portion of the research, mapping the history of US nuclear politics from 1945 until current times. Lastly, with the completion of the first two goals, I will analyze the symbolic aspect of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in its 50 years of existence. (AU)
