In the early 1980s there had been an upsurge of public concern over
the nuclear threat to Europe. Already saturated with nuclear
weapons, Europe faced controversial new deployments and there was
alarm over military strategies for nuclear war in the region. It is
in this context that the idea of nuclear weapon-free zones had
captured the popular imagination and became a political issue in
Europe. Not only would such zones build confidence and raise the
nuclear threshold, but they would be first steps towards a more
comprehensive elimination of nuclear weapons. Originally published
in 1983 Nuclear Disengagement in Europe probes the question of
nuclear weapon-free zones in the region. Pugwash and SIPRI arranged
a meeting at which an international team of lawyers, scientists,
politicians and military experts gave background information and
provided an appraisal of problems regarding the zone initiatives as
well as benefits that would accrue. Possible elements in a European
zone arrangement were elaborated on and procedures towards the
establishment of such a zone were suggested.
