Debate: The times are not a-changing : nuclear politics then and now

Do we live in a whole new era of nuclear politics, or is there something we can learn from the past? Are the current divisions, hopes, and fears new, or have we lived through it all? Three top diplomats contemplate how the past fissures within the regime mirror those today, and what solutions can be found by looking to the past.
