This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade of the 1990s offers a chance to build a new and better international order. What policy choices will this decade pose for the United States? This wide-ranging volume of essays imaginatively addresses these crucial issues. The peaceful revolutions of 1989-1990 in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have swept away the foundations of the Cold War. The Eastern European nations are free; Europe is no longer divided; Germany is united. The Soviet threat to Western Europe is ending with the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the withdrawals and asymmetrical cuts of Soviet forces. And U.S.-Soviet rivalry in the Third World is giving way to cooperation in handling conflicts, as in Iraq and elsewhere. Much, of course, remains uncertain and unsettled. What sort of Soviet Union will emerge from the ongoing turmoil, with what political and economic system and what state structure? How far and how soon will the Eastern Euro pean states succeed in developing pluralist democracies and market economies? Are the changes irreversible? Certainly there will be turmoil, backsliding, and failures, but a return to the Cold War hardly seems likely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States is grappling with a new security framework to replace the structure of the Cold War era. American policymakers face a host of challenges, including regional conflicts, ethnic tensions, and weapons proliferation, that commanded little attention in the past. And tomorrow is likely to bring new concerns barely on today's horizon." "Despite these changes, the study of national security remains largely a creature of the Cold War. The security studies discipline needs to be overhauled. But how should it be revised so that tomorrow's citizens and experts are equipped to understand and help manage new challenges?" "One option is to downgrade security studies and divert educational resources elsewhere. Another is to redefine the subject to include the study of an all encompassing list of international problems. The third choice is to retain basic definitions, concepts, and subjects, while also making significant adjustments. Security Studies for the 1990s addresses all three options." "This book is the first to reexamine security studies in the post-Cold War era. Scholars and directors from leading security studies programs representing a cross section of viewpoints on foreign affairs discuss what new material needs to be taught and which courses and concepts should be recast. Each chapter provides an indepth review of a major security studies course, proposing needed changes and a model syllabus. Subjects include intelligence policy, global environmental problems, the causes and termination of wars, and collective security. A chapter on the teaching of ethics, a subject often neglected in the past, is also featured."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: "If peace breaks out, can arms control be far behind?" According to Colin S. Gray, this sardonic motto describes events of the 1990s just as well as it did those of the 1920s. Gray offers a provocative history of twentieth-century attempts at arms limitation, as he challenges the fundamental assumptions of arms control theory. Arms control has never worked, he concludes, because it never can. Existing approaches to arms control appeal to common sense, but they are logically unsound and inherently impractical, Gray argues, because they fail to take political realities into account. He outlines their inadequacies in what he calls the Arms Control Paradox: the more motivated nations are to fight one another, the less interested they will be in supporting significant arms limitations. Under these conditions, arms control agreements must be, to echo a phrase of George Will's, either impossible or unimportant. Documenting the naval treaties of the 1920s and 1930s and the initiatives to limit strategic nuclear arms from 1969 to the present, Gray seeks to demonstrate that the fortunes of negotiated arms limitation have merely reflected the temperature of international relations, rather than influencing those relations. National security analysts, students and scholars of international relations, and others interested in arms control issues will want to read House of Cards and debate its conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rarely if ever have the political, economic, and military foundations of the Western Alliance been in such a state of flux. Walter Laqueur and Leon Sloss, therefore, deserve credit not just for the quality of the analysis in this superb book but also for the timeliness of its appearance. As Laqueur says in his chapter "Touring the Western European Defense Hori zon," if the likely development of European defense policies is not particularly reassuring, at least it gives no grounds for despair. The list of problems we face is a daunting one. First there is the spiralling cost of defense expenditures, particularly in the absence of significant NATO or inter-European cooperation. This is particu larly serious in light of the reluctance to increase, or even maintain, current expen ditures in the midst of Mikhail Gorbachev's "peace offensive" and the extraordinary changes in Eastern Europe, both of which have had a dramatic impact on Western public opinion. There is also a problem in the perceived relative economic decline of the United States vis-a-vis Western Europe and Japan, which only exacerbates calls to reduce the number of American troops in Europe. Other dangers to the political cohesion and military credibility of the alliance include demographic trends that threaten current manpower levels, transatlantic acrimony over the burden-sharing issue, and political pressures (particularly in West Germany) toward denucleariza tion and even neutralism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January, 1990, the Mosher Institute conducted its second annual arms control and disarmament symposium in Houston, Texas. Representatives from the Soviet Union, Eastern and Western Europe, neutral and nonaligned nations, the United States, and the Third World attended. Speakers and commentators included senior members of the U.S. and Soviet armed forces, members of negotiating delegations, and experts from industry and academe. The proceedings of this symposium, Arms Control: Problems and Prospects, 1990, are the tape recordings, edited only to ensure clarity, of the six sessions: "Trends in Military Doctrine: Implications for Future Security Relationships in Europe"; "Negotiations on Strategic Nuclear Forces and Space"; "Negotiations on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures"; "Negotiations on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe"; "Negotiations on Chemical/Biological Warfare"; and "Future Directions in Arms Control: A Round Table Discussion." At this privately funded symposium, the speakers and commentators, free from the normal restraints of official negotiating sessions, were willing to go beyond official positions in discussing ways for improving progress inn arms control efforts. Hence, in addition to clarifying existing positions, these proceedings reflect in many instances new directions advanced as possible alternatives to those currently on the table. At the same time, they present a review of the negotiating history in all the critical months of formal negotiations in each area. These proceedings, taken together with the proceedings of the 1989 Mosher symposium, European Arms Control: Problems and Prospects, provide a comprehensive view of arms control and disarmament for a two-year period and suggest where official negotiations may lead in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1992, examines defence issues as the twentieth century drew to a close. With the end of the Cold War, many of the threats to European security, such as the threat of nuclear war, disappeared. New ones, however, were emerging. The rise of nationalism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction to politically unstable countries, the increase in world population, the debt crisis – all these contributed to security problems that needed to be resolved. The book assesses the possibilities for future European defence and the role that the United States would play in it: will it be prepared to stay in Europe under European leadership, or must it dominate? It also considers the capabilities offered by new military technology and the need for control of weapons of mass destruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to introduce the reader to the critical issues of arms control and international security in the 1980s, this collection of provocative and challenging articles encourages a rethinking of conventional wisdom on strategic policy. The authors succinctly convey the tensions existing between those who would eliminate the weapons on which strategic deterrence has rested and those who see the Soviet nuclear buildup as a challenge that must be met with increased armaments. They reflect, as well, on the conceptual tension between eliminating nuclear weapons and answering the question of how defense can be managed in the nuclear era. Their contributions are at times compelling, at times frustrating, but at all times informative and of critical importance.
