For
a number of years around the turn of this century, I was a member of an
international group that brought together academic and official persons to
discuss nuclear security problems in the Asia-Pacific region. It was part of a wider project to reduce tension
and build confidence, which worked in parallel with formal diplomatic
meetings. Apart from technical persons,
it also included diplomats, but because of its relative informality, it tended
to be referred to as ‘Track Two’.
