United States and Russian Nuclear Weapons Arms Control: where Are We Now
Abstract
This paper focuses on the major nuclear weapons arms control efforts between the United States and Russia since the start of the arms race. It begins with a discussion of the threat and actions and reactions of both nations during this period. It then covers Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START I and START II) in some detail and provides a critique of these efforts. Finally, the paper attempts to place nuclear weapons arms control in perspective, where are we now in dealing with the monumental and highly technical problems of nuclear weapons arms control. Is our current focus on nuclear weapons arms control the answer to achieving a lasting world peace?
