Nuclear France: New Questions, New Sources, New Findings (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032582023)

Beno? Pelopidas is Associate Professor and the founding director of the Nuclear Knowledges program at the Center for International Studies, Sciences Po, Paris, France. Nuclear Knowledges is the first scholarly research program in France on the nuclear phenomenon which refuses funding from stakeholders of the nuclear weapons entreprise or from antinuclear activists in order to problematize conflicts of interest and their effect on knowledge production. The program mobilizes interdisciplinary methods to become able to assess accepted claims about nuclear realities. Beno? is an affiliate to CISAC at Stanford University and has been a visiting fellow at Princeton University's Program on Science and Global Security. He is the PI of the VULPAN project funded by the French National Research Agency and the NUCLEAR project funded by the European Research Council.
