In this book, Michael Krepon analyzes nuclear issues such as missile defenses, space warfare, and treaties, and argues that the United States is on a dangerous course. During the Cold War, Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD, facilitated strategic arms control. Now that the Cold War has been replaced by asymmetric warfare, treaties based on nuclear overkill and national vulnerability are outdated and must be adapted to a far different world. A new strategic concept of Cooperative Threat Reduction is needed to replace MAD. A balance is needed that combines military might with strengthened treaty regimes.
In the Treaty of Versailles and the SALT II Treaty, years of
painstaking diplomatic effort were lost when the United States
Senate refused to provide its consent to ratification. This book
provides a comparative assessment of executive-congressional
relations and the arms control treaty ratification process. A team
of historians, political scientists and policy analysts looks at
seven case studies, from Versailles to the INF Treaty, to explore
the myriad ways to win and lose treaty ratification battles. This
book constitutes a marriage of scholarship and public policy.
Michael Krepon is the editor of "Commercial Observation Satellites
and International Security". Dan Caldwell has also written "The
Dynamics of Domestic Politics and Arms Control: The SALT II Treaty
