Can the Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions (MBFR) Talks Succeed under Present Restrictions

Abstract

The MBFR talks have not made any significant progress since they began in October 1973. The inability to make any progress may be caused by political factors that preclude acceptance of each other's proposals. The MBFR talks are concerned with seeking solutions to military problems; however, political solutions must be reached before the military questions can be resolved. This paper reviews some of the political problems and concerns facing the opposing powers. (Author)
