The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to develop a ballistic
missile defense (BMD) system has both short-range and long-range
risks as well as potential benefits. For the most part, however,
strategic, technological, and political issues relevant to SDI have
been analyzed in isolation from one another. This book provides a
more inclusive framework for assessing the possible development and
deployment of a BMD system by the United States or the Soviet
Union. Contributors discuss the risks for arms race stability,
probable reactions of the Soviet Union to any U.S. space-based
defense system, and implications for the stability of extended
deterrence commitments to NATO European allies. They also evaluate
Soviet research and development programs in missile defense that
must be considered in any extrapolation of the requirements for
U.S. deterrence in the next several decades.
