Frequently Asked Questions
     My interest in Peace Studies derives especially from two sources: (1) a longstanding concern about nuclear weapons and the psychology and doctrine surrounding them, and (2) the implications of biological factors - including but not limited to questions of "innate" human aggressiveness - in producing and sometimes restraining individual as well as group violence. I have also dealt with questions concerning deterrence theory as well as specific weapons-related matters, such as Star Wars, and Gandhian nonviolence.
