The project involved extensive analysis of official documents, mass media output, and nuclear expert discourse. Work performed included review and analysis of large bodies of literature, text and discourse analysis of key texts, and concept- and theory development within the field of nuclear security studies.
The project resulted in seven peer-reviewed academic articles:
