Abstract/Artist's Statement
"In this paper, I will analyze why terrorist groups want to “go” nuclear, what motivates these nuclear desires, and I will consider how terrorists are likely to act if they were to acquire a nuclear weapon. I argue that the common perception of the threat posed by nuclear terrorism is misguided on several levels and that the disproportionate focus on Islamic Extremism is unreasonable and irresponsible."
