The Implications for Arms Control of Perceptions of Strategic Weapons Systems. Volume II: Literature Survey,

Abstract

The authors discuss the following: Examine the data to see whether the authors evaluated strategic weapons systems as valuable or costly; See into what categories (economic, political, psychological, sociological, or scientific and technological) the author's evaluations fell; See how the values or costs of strategic weapons systems are seen to affect the foreign policy, the domestic and the international environments; Discuss the important findings with respect to specific attributes in each of these categories, significant either because they were mentioned frequently or hardly at all; and, finally, examine views on weapons systems according to the nationality of the author and the country being discussed, with particular reference to the views of US and Soviet authors.
