An Assessment of European Attitudes on Tactical Nuclear Force Modernization. Volume II. Main Study.

Abstract

This report analyzes existing views in Europe, especially in the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, toward tactical nuclear weapons; assesses possible reactions in Europe toward the modernization of NATO's tactical nuclear force, especially through the introduction of high-accuracy, tailored-effects weapons with the potential for increasing military effectiveness while substantially reducing collateral damage in the event of war; and discusses ways in which European opinion might be made more receptive to tactical nuclear force modernization.
