Challenge for NATO: improving conventional deterrence. Study project

Technical Report Lynch, W R

The present thaw in US-Soviet relations with the INF agreement as a centerpiece poses a significant challenge for NATO. At a time of a reduced-threat perception and a renewed debate on NATO policy, it has become increasingly more apparent that the US should take the lead in developing a sound NATO course for the future. As NATO comes to grips with a new Soviet foreign policy direction and style, it will be necessary to reassess NATO strategy and doctrine. There will be a tendency to reduce defense spending based on a reduced-threat perception. The author feels this is the worstmore »« less
Defense and security in the nuclear age

Journal Article Howe, G

Britain's foreign secretary examines the historical bases for the Western alliance and reviews the options the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has in fulfilling the commitment to defend ourselves and each other. Howe explores the relationship between defense in its broadest sense and systems intended to defend against nuclear weapons. He highlights the issues the alliance must tackle if its success in ensuring peace is to continue. His analysis covers the concept of deterrence, the pressures of technological advance, and the new possibilities that President Reagan's Strategic Defensive Initiative introduce for active defense.

Mr. Gansler stressed that readiness plans have to be based on what are perceived as the mostmore »« less
Visit to the Yongbyon Nuclear Facilities in North Korea

Conference Hecker, Siegfried S

Actions of the Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have precipitated two nuclear crises in the past 10 years. The 1994 crisis was resolved through the 'Agreed Framework.' North Korea agreed to 'freeze' and eventually dismantle its nuclear program (with U.S. help to store spent fuel safely and under IAEA inspection). In return, the United States agreed (with the KEDO international consortium) to build two light-water reactors and supply North Korea with heavy-fuel oil until the reactors come on line. In addition, both sides agreed to move towards full normalization of relations, work for peace and security onmore »« less

Unfavorable situation: NATO and the conventional balance

Technical Report Thomson, J A

The view, long and widely held, that NATO conventional military forces are inferior to Warsaw Pact forces is one of the most important factors shaping postwar history. It influenced the size and nature of the American military commitment to Europe. It is at the heart of the extended deterrence strategy, in which the U.S. commitment to use nuclear weapons in the defense of Europe offsets the Warsaw Pact's perceived conventional superiority. The notion of Western inferiority runs through much of today's public debate on security policy-the INF Treaty, the future of nuclear and conventional arms control, U.S. and Allied defensemore »« less
