Nuclear Negotiations With Iran
By: Paul R. Pillar, Robert Reardon, James K. Sebenius and Michael K. Singh
Abstract
Paul Pillar and Robert Reardon challenge the analysis and substantive policy inputs that Sebenius and Singh developed for their article "Is a Nuclear Deal with Iran Possible? An Analytic Framework for the Iran Nuclear Negotiations" (International Security 37, no. 3 (Winter 2012/2013): 52–91). Essentially the Sebenius-Singh article concluded that, as of its writing, a zone of possible agreement did not likely exist between the hardline Iranian regime and its counterparts, the "P5+1," but that such a zone could be created by a combination of cost-imposing and value-enhancing moves that were credible, of the right "currency" and appropriate magnitude. In this follow-on analysis, Sebenius and Singh respond to Pillar and Reardon's objections, elaborate the analytic framework, and update the policy inputs and implications.
