The Potential Effect of Crisis Relocation on Crisis Stability.

Abstract

Interviews concerning the potential effect of crisis relocation (or evacuation) on crisis stability were conducted with over 30 individuals who are authorities on crisis management, civil defense, national security policy, and Soviet studies, several of whom have had experience in high-level decisionmaking during actual crises. Furthermore, an examination was performed of the literature relevant to crisis relocation, and on the potential perceptions by the Soviet Union. The report contains a detailed discussion of the issue, based on these sources, especially the interviews. Conclusions are drawn regarding the advisability of U.S. relocation in an intense crisis, both in the presence and absence of Soviet relocation. (Author)
