STUDIES IN DETERRENCE. IV. THE PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE ARMS-CONTROL NEGOTIATIONS

Abstract

While general speculations on the future policy of the Soviet Union encounter many difficulties, the fact that the Soviet negotiators have followed a distinct pattern in the arms-control area permits an extrapolation of trends into likely alternatives within broad limits. Three of these are considered in detail, together with likely U. S. responses. These include (a) Soviet proposals for general and complete disarmament, (b) Soviet proposals for limited arms-contro measures, and (c) Soviet proposals based on U. S. ideas developed during the last few years. Each is explored in some detail together with possible U. S. responses. (Author)
