Arms Control Without Negotiation: From the Cold War to the New World Order

While these initiatives appear novel, this book demonstrates that they are only the tip of a unilateral arms control iceberg. The authors argue that arms control without negotiation—broadly defined to include unilateral reductions to induce reciprocation, as well as unilateral military research, development, procurement, reconfiguration, and nondeployment—is as important as treaties, if not more so.

The authors discuss the utility of unilateral measures in inducing reciprocation, review the links between defense planning and unilateral arms control, address the domestic politics of arms-control issues, and consider implications for the future.
