A decade has passed since the superpowers began a series of arms
control initiatives which now symbolize the beginning of the end of
the Cold War, but the passage of time has not resolved disputes
about the role of arms control in preserving peace. Both
international relations theorists and foreign policy practitioners
must decide which security strategy is most appropriate for a
post-Cold War world characterized by the decline in superpower
hostility and the rise of regional rivalries; the rapid diffusion
of knowledge-intensive technologies; and the increasingly complex
relationships between political, military, and economic issues.
How should arms control theory and policy be altered to improve the
prospects for cooperation? The essays in this volume address this
question by exploring the complexity of national arms control
decision-making and multilateral negotiations, and the challenges
of reaching domestic and international agreement on verification.
Conscious that the gulf between theory and policy is growing at a
time when the need for policy-friendly theory is greater than ever,
the authors offer a range of jargon-free views from the academic
and policy-making worlds, some arguing that growing interdependence
creates both the need and the opportunity for a radical
reorientation of arms control efforts, while others contend that
increasing complexity in arms control problems still constrains
what can be negotiated and ratified.
