Too many cooks Arms control by Committee: Managing negotiations with the Russians. [Book review about arms control]
The title for [open quotes]Too Many Cooks Arms Control by Committee: Managing Negotiations with the Russians[close quotes] comes from the cumbersome way in which arms control must be negotiated with interagency and congressional committees, as well as with foreign diplomats. The author's purpose for the book is to add to the recorded history of early negotiations, to help with teaching about arms control talks, and to distill lessons from 30 years of negotiations. The author reviews seven case studies of arms control negotiations against a common set of key questions. In addition to the comprehensive and partial test ban negotiations and the Non-Proliferation Treaty, the author covers Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) I and II, the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) talks, and the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty. Special attention is paid to presidential management of the unwieldy negotiating process, including the use of instructions to negotiators and White House bargaining tactics at home and abroad.
