While Pugwash findings reach the policy community most directly through the participation of members of that community in Pugwash meetings and through the personal contacts of other participants with policy makers, additional means of airing Pugwash ideas are also used.
A quarterly Pugwash Newsletter -- distributed worldwide to policy makers, past Pugwash participants, and libraries -- contains communiqués issued by the Pugwash Council, descriptions of and reports on Pugwash meetings, and, with the authors' permission, excerpts from commissioned and proffered papers presented at these meetings. (The reports on the meetings are written by participant/rapporteurs and do not quote or commit other participants.)
The Proceedings of Annual Conferences are published regularly and distributed to Pugwashites and governments. And Annals of Pugwash, containing an anthology of papers presented at the Pugwash meetings, have also been published and distributed as ordinary books.

In recent years, Pugwash has undertaken some research projects requiring a more sustained organizational effort than a single meeting or even a series of meetings. For instance, an American-European-Soviet book on verification was produced in 1991 (VERIFICATION: Monitoring Disarmament, edited by F. Calogero, M. Goldberger and S.P. Kapitza; Westview Press, 1991 [in English]; Mir, 1991 [in Russian]); its chapters, covering most verification issues, were all co-authored by high-caliber experts from the "West" and the "East" (probably the first book in the world dealing with a sensitive security issue, to have this remarkable feature). In 1993, another project resulted in the publication of a multi-authored Pugwash Monograph (A Nuclear-Weapons-Free World: Desirable? Feasible?, edited by
J. Rotblat, J. Steinberger and B. Udgaonkar; Westview Press, 1993), which has been instrumental in opening a serious debate about the prospect of a complete elimination of nuclear weaponry. This book has also been published in several other languages ( Russian, French, Chinese, Arabic, Swedish, Japanese). A project on Education for World Citizenship will result in the publication of a Pugwash Monograph. A project on the " Conversion of Military Research & Development to Civilian Uses", with particular attention to the Weapons laboratories in nuclear-weapon countries, is now in progress. And a Report on the " Conversion of the Military Research & Development in the former Soviet Republics -- the Future of their Nuclear Weapon Complex" was produced in 1993 and updated in 1994; another updated version has appeared in 1995, as a SIPRI book: M. De Andreis and F. Calogero, The Soviet Nuclear Weapon Legacy, SIPRI Research report no. 10, Oxford University Press, 1995.
