University of Southampton Mountbatten Centre for International Studies
The Mountbatten Centre for International Studies (MCIS) “is particularly active in studying the global spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and the different ways of controlling them. [MCIS] seeks to facilitate and encourage international consensus-building on these matters through dialogue with national policy-making officials and researchers, and through [the Centre’s] own research…One distinguishing characteristic of [the Centre’s] work is its coverage of all the WMD technologies and their international regulatory mechanisms, and [the Centre’s] ability to integrate and compare what is taking place in the different fields.” MCIS has “active programmes on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, their missile delivery systems, missile defences, and British nuclear history.
