Dr Thomas Jonter

Dr. Emma Rosengren, a researcher focused on Swedish nuclear policy, and Dr. Thomas Jonter, an expert in international relations and disarmament, dive deep into Sweden's Cold War nuclear ambitions. They discuss the initial motivations to deter the Soviet Union, the dual-use approach of its nuclear program, and the domestic debates that shaped public opinion. The conversation also covers Sweden's pivotal role in disarmament talks and the impact of its historical non-alignment on current NATO discussions, especially in light of recent geopolitical tensions.
