Disarmament insight
 
“Freakomacy” 
exploring the hidden side of disarmament review conferences (John Borrie)
 
What have 1950s toys, the sinking of Titanic, NASA space shuttles and Richard Feynman got to do with disarmament diplomacy?
In this 30 minute presentation from Disarmament Insight’s first workshop with diplomats, activists and others, John Borrie observes that, in life, the answers we get reflect the questions we ask.
Do multilateral disarmament practitioners always ask the right questions about what works and what doesn’t in their endeavours?
Looking beyond mere analogies, this presentation uses a variety of historical examples in an engaging way to illustrate issues of concern to all collective decision-makers.
