PONI Publications

Each year PONI publishes two journals comprised of papers authored by rising experts in the field. These journals are outgrowths of two other programs, namely the Conference Series and the Nuclear Scholars Initiative. The journals include articles that cover a wide array of topics and contain creative insights intended to inform the public debate on nuclear strategy and policy. To receive free hard copies of these journals, please email poni@csis.org. 

Conference Series Journal

At the conclusion of the yearly conference series, a selected group of presenters is invited to speak at the PONI Capstone Conference at Offutt Air Force Base, home of U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM). Articles based on these presentations are then published in PONI’s yearly collection of papers.
