For nearly fifty years, including the decade and a half since the
end of the Cold War, deterrence has remained the central nuclear
arms control policy between the United States, Russia, and other
principal nuclear powers. The question today is: Has the concept of
deterrence outlived its usefulness? In Beyond Nuclear Deterrence,
two of Russias top nonproliferation and international security
experts, Alexei Arbatov and Vladimir Dvorkin, critically assess the
history of deterrence as it emerged between the Soviet Union and
the U.S. and evolved through the Cold War to include an expanding
nuclear club. The authors argue that while deterrence as a concept
has always been paradoxical, it is poorly equipped to handle todays
most significant nuclear challenges: proliferation and terrorism.
Nuclear arms control must move beyond the deadlock of deterrence.
The U.S. and Russia need to take the first bilateral steps to
remove mutual nuclear deterrence as the foundation of their
strategic relationship and implement changes that can be exported
internationally.
