The Iranian nuclear case provides an excellent opportunity to revisit (and refine) our understanding of nuclear hedging and reversal process from both a theoretical and policy relevant perspective. In his talk Ariel will discuss the emerging theory of hedging informed by the recent contribution to our understanding of the phenomenon made by Bowen, Moran, and Esfandiary's study of Iranian hedging, and will examine the JCPOA in light of its insights and policy precepts.
