Assuming a movement towards detente, East-West Arms Control assesses the role and relevance of arms control in an era of rapidly eroding bipolarity and East-West confrontation. It takes a sober look at the significance of what has been achieved so far, where the arms control process is currently heading and what prospects and challenges the Western Alliance will face.

This book, first published in 1990, examines the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Western Alliance at a time of great changes. Experts on a range of topics analyse the relationship from both the Soviet perspective (the impact of Gorbachev, and the role of Eastern Europe), and from the standpoint of the nations of the West including France, Great Britain and West Germany). Also included is a discussion of the role of the northern flank in Soviet nuclear-free proposals. The book concludes with an assessment of the challenges posed by the changing Soviet perspective, and the opportunities that these present for the Western Alliance.

Yost suggests that the challenges for Western policy posed by Soviet ballistic missile defense (BMD) programs stem partly from Soviet military programs, Soviet arms control policies, and Soviet public diplomacy campaigns, and partly from the West's own intra-alliance disagreements and lack of consensus about Western security requirements.

The postwar paradigm of security based primarily on military superiority is being displaced by a post-containment model linking security to economic, ecological, political and cultural co-operation. The central argument of this book is that these two diametrically opposed models are now competitively interacting as bases for policy in both the Western Alliance and the Warsaw Pact.

This analysis of the political and strategic dilemmas that Europeans now face makes a case for greater political and military cooperation and argues for the creation of a European defence identity that will not hinder improvements in East-West relations, nor loosen the ties with the US.

In Contemporary international affairs, security is not a one-dimensional concept. Nations define security across economic, military, political, and even social boundaries. In International Cooperation and Public Goods, Mark Boyer broadens the understanding of security beyond military capability and shows how economic and political power enter into the balance, especially in the case of advanced industrialized nations. In contrast to the theorists who insist that U.S. military efforts are providing the Eastern allies with a "free ride," Boyer reaches dramatically different conclusions regarding the nature of alliance burden sharing, the efficiency of security provision, and the future of allied cooperation as American hegemony declines. Focusing on "trade" in public goods and on the Ricardian theory of comparative advantage, he demonstrates that nations specialize in the production of alliance goods - economic, political, or military - for which they possess advantages over other nations.

The first years of the post-Cold-War era have made abundantly clear that it is imperative for the Western allies to pursue a common strategy and a concerted diplomacy in order to secure their interests in a still unruly Europe. Doing so requires ingenuity in adapting the modes of cooperation inherited from the past and determination in overcoming the parochialisms that have flourished in the wake of the Soviet Union's demise. From four national perspectives, the authors examine what must be done for a more egalitarian Alliance to act effectively, on a multi8U-8Ulateral basis, in addressing the new security agenda.

"Scandinavia is the half-forgotten sub-continent of Europe. In his trenchant analysis, Ingemar Drfer shows why, in the wake of the Cold War, explicit mutual commitment should inform the new relationship between the old neutrals Sweden and Finland and the Western Alliance as a whole. An outstanding member of the transatlantic security community, Drfer has written a compelling book that will shape the strategic debate on and in the Nordic world for years to come." -- Josef Joffe, Harvard University "Drfer's book shows the way" -- Stockholm Dagens Nyheter Sweden and Finland continue to stand outside NATO. The Nordic Nations in the New Western Security Regime argues carefully and vigorously that they should join. Ingemar Drfer builds his case from a variety of materials, covering the security situation of northern Europe, the military organizations and commitments of the Scandinavian countries, and the future of NATO in the web of pan-European political, economic, and military institutions.

The West has endured seven major fuel crises since 1944; these crises have threatened not only the well-being of the western alliance but also its military preparedness and political cohesion. Because energy security was deemed vital, the United States and its Western European and Japanese allies attempted to formulate a collective response to each crisis. Based on extensive archival research both in the United States and abroad, Kapstein here explains why alliance relations have been characterized by cooperation during some energy crises and conflict during others.

In this new Brookings Marshall Paper, Michael O'Hanlon argues that now is the time for Western nations to negotiate a new security architecture for neutral countries in eastern Europe to stabilize the region and reduce the risks of war with Russia. He believes NATO expansion has gone far enough. The core concept of this new security architecture would be one of permanent neutrality. The countries in question collectively make a broken-up arc, from Europe's far north to its south: Finland and Sweden; Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus; Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan; and finally Cyprus plus Serbia, as well as possibly several other Balkan states. Discussion on the new framework should begin within NATO, followed by deliberation with the neutral countries themselves, and then formal negotiations with Russia. The new security architecture would require that Russia, like NATO, commit to help uphold the security of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and other states in the region. Russia would have to withdraw its troops from those countries in a verifiable manner; after that, corresponding sanctions on Russia would be lifted. The neutral countries would retain their rights to participate in multilateral security operations on a scale comparable to what has been the case in the past, including even those operations that might be led by NATO. They could think of and describe themselves as Western states (or anything else, for that matter). If the European Union and they so wished in the future, they could join the EU. They would have complete sovereignty and self-determination in every sense of the word. But NATO would decide not to invite them into the alliance as members. Ideally, these nations would endorse and promote this concept themselves as a more practical way to ensure their security than the current situation or any other plausible alternative.

This study is an examination and assessment of critical trends in the evolution of Russian thinking on foreign and national security policy in recent years. The consensus of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin eras that promised rapprochement with the West has been replaced by a new consensus that is pushing Russia toward a more aloof position vis-a-vis the Western alliance as leaders grapple with problems along Russia's immediate periphery and seek to rebuild Russia's sphere of influence. A key issue is the contradiction between U.S. recognition of the newly independent states around Russia's periphery and Russia's special role of oversight throughout the former Soviet Union and pursuit of national interests that might impinge on its neighbor's sovereignty. U.S. policymakers face the task of balancing the newly independent states' right to sovereignty against the need to restore order in a given region and the desire to sustain continuity in U.S.-Russian relations. Although there are no easy solutions, the Western community can play a constructive role while remaining on the periphery.
