In 2002 the Group of Eight industrialized nations - in which
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK, the USA and
representatives of the European Union participate - formed the
Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of
Mass Destruction. The G8 pledged to raise up to $20 billion to
carry out the Global Partnership projects over a 10-year period,
initially in Russia but with the intention to expand the scope of
projects to include other countries. These projects will help to
specify the quantities and locations of weapons and materials and
ensure that stocks are held under safe and secure custody to
prevent diversion to unauthorized users or inappropriate uses. If
the weapons or materials are not required, this practical
assistance can also help to eliminate the surplus.
The G8 initiative is only one of a number of activities sharing the
same basic features: tailor-made measures jointly implemented on
the territory of one state by a coalition including states,
international organizations, local and regional governments,
non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
This report reviews the current cooperative threat reduction
activities with a particular focus on projects and approaches
engaging European partners. It examines the organizing principles
for cooperative threat reduction and the lessons learned from past
project implementation. Finally, it examines how European countries
might organize their cooperative threat reduction activities to
increase their coherence and effectiveness.
