Securing Compliance with Arms Control Agreements
Abstract
Violations of arms control agreements are a problem of the past, the present, and almost certainly the future. Yet the problem of noncompliance tends to receive less attention and analysis than that devoted to the agendas, proposals, negotiations, and verification for arms agreements. National Institute for Public Policy proposes a project that will employ a case-study approach to gain a better understanding of why noncompliance occurs and how it might be prevented or reversed. A common set of questions will be used to examine four different historical cases in which a country violated an arms control agreement and then one or more other countries attempted to enforce its terms. The answers to these questions are expected to provide insights and supporting evidence regarding conditions that encourage or discourage cheating, measures that deter cheating, tactics of violators and other factors that impede enforcement actions, and ways to compel the compliance of violators.
