Globalization and WMD Proliferation Networks: The Policy Landscape

Abstract

This article addresses the Bush Administration's policy approach to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) proliferation. While the article will largely focus on the current Administration's policy approach to the WMD threat in terms of what is new or different from what went before, this Administration clearly built on a strong counterproliferation foundation. Dr. Ted Warner, former Assistant Secretary of Defense, carried the concept forward in the seminal Defense Counterproliferation Initiative that Secretary of Defense Les Aspin announced in December 1993.
