Technology, Strategy, & Arms Control
Focusing on the most urgent issues of arms control, this collection of essays discusses the East-West military balance, the nature of U.S.-Soviet relations, the political that conflicting national security policies pose for the management of the Western alliance, the influence of U.S. domestic politics on prospects for arms control, and the efforts to enhance the prospects of peace through peace research. The political, technological, and ethical dimensions of the arms race and of arms control efforts are examined against the background of their historical development in the postwar period and analyzed with a view toward enhancing the prospects for a less volatile military-strategic environment and a more stable international political order. Together these original essays provide a comprehensive overview of the possibilities for and limititations of restraining and managing nuclear issues in the 1980s and beyond.rnThe essays collected in this anthology are based on lectures delivered at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), during the academic year 1984-1985. The lectures were part of the newly established Program on Global Peace and Security, through which UCSB seeks to augment its existing academic programs with a public dialogue on some of the most pressing problems that stand in the way of achieving a more peaceful and just world order.
