New Areas for Reducing the Risk of Outbreak of Nuclear War

Abstract

One of the fundamental steps in the process of arms control planning and bilateral U.S.-U.S.S.R. negotiations to prevent crises that could lead to nuclear war is the identification of such crises. This report investigates and assesses broad categories of events that could precipitate these crises. The problem is to search for as yet unidentified new categories of events; i.e., categories outside the coverage of the 1971 Agreement, the 1973 Agreement, and areas already studied (or now being studied) by the arms control community or other research and analysis groups.
