Non-proliferation assistance programs are a relatively new tool in
combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The
Co-operative Threat Reduction (CTR) programs, funded by the
Department of Defense (DOD), are the most visible of these
programs. Begun in 1991, CTR initially aimed to help Russia meet
its START obligations to reduce strategic nuclear weapons; 1.
Within a decade, however, CTR took on the goal of reducing the
threat of terrorist access to weapons of mass destruction (WMD); 2.
Experts realised that Russia needed to protect its Cold War
overhang of WMD materials, scientists, and equipment from those who
might exploit insider opportunities and who had incentives
(particularly financial) to sell WMD technology to anyone. Now,
however, many analysts support expanding co-operative threat
reduction programs beyond Russia to other geographic areas. The
Bush Administration itself stated in early 2003, that it had
'expanded the strategic focus of the CTR program' to support the
war on terrorism. This book surveys options for applying CTR
programs to states that pose a WMD and terrorism threat.
