Book ·
OSTI ID:6774233
Completely revised and updated, this is an exhaustive analysis of national and international arms control: its history, its philosophy, and its achievements and future prospects as well as its political, military, and economic ramifications. As in the first edition of 1976, the book reflects the combined contributions of the Stanford Arms Control Group. Of the fifteen chapters in the book, four are new or substantially new, and the rest have been completely revised and updated. The complete text of the SALT II treaty has been added to the appendix containing texts of major arms control agreements. After an introductory chapter, the 14 additional chapters are grouped under three sections: the setting; nuclear and strategic arms control; and regional and conventional arms control. Appendices carry: (A) abbreviations of arms control names and terms; (B) the disarmament forums, 1945-1983; and (C) texts of major arms control agreements. Suggested further readings for each chapter are also given.
