Politics of modernizing short-range nuclear forces in West Germany. Interim report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5345296
This report examines the origins of changing West German attitudes toward nuclear modernization in the wake of the treaty on intermediate-range nuclear forces signed in December 1987. It analyzes the factors shaping West German attitudes toward NATO's planned modernization of short-range nuclear forces (SNF)-factors that led to an open dispute in the alliance over SNF modernization in the early months of 1989. On the basis of this analysis, the report then considers the implications of domestic political trends in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) for future alliance decisions on the modernization of NATO nuclear forces in Western Europe.
