India-Pakistan Strategic Relations: The Nuclear Dilemma
Arms control as a part of strategy: The Warsaw Pact in MBFR negotiations
New archival materials have become available that allow us to test the conventional interpretation of Warsaw Pact policy towards conventional arms reductions in Europe. They shed new light on the objectives of the Eastern side in talks on mutual and balanced arms reductions, how it approached the dispute over the assessments of the military balance and sought to preserve its advantages while constraining West German military capabilities, and dem…
The Irrelevance of ‘Trusting Relationships’ in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Reconsidering the Dynamics of Proliferation
In a recent paper Jan Ruzicka and Nicholas J. Wheeler have posited that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is an example of several ‘trusting relationships’. The authors assert that ‘since the end of the 1990s the trusting relationships embodied in the NPT have come under strain’ and that this accounts for the fact that the ‘treaty is facing growing pressures that are eroding what has been an effective barrier to nuclear weapons prolifera…

Iraq: Blair's Mission Impossible’: A Rejoinder to Paul Hoggett
The British road to war: Blair, Bush and the decision to invade Iraq
The British decision to go to war against Iraq with the United States has been widely criticized for being based on inaccurate and exaggerated assessments of the threat posed by Iraq. This article shows that the case for military action made by the British government was based on a measured analysis of the threat, on the conviction that the continued containment of Iraq through sanctions was not effective or morally acceptable, and that the human…
Reconciling the Irreconcilable: Alliance Politics and the Paradox of Extended Deterrence in the 1960s
One of the central dilemmas of Alliance politics during the Cold War was that the US security guarantee given to European members of the NATO Alliance created a sharp conflict with US national security interests as the US became increasingly vulnerable to Soviet strategic nuclear forces. The result were long drawn out negotiations to develop a strategic concept that would at least appear to reconcile the differences between European and US securi…
The Origins of MBFR: West German Policy Priorities and Conventional Arms Control
Negotiations on Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions, 1973-86, continued for a long time without progress. Research in East German archives confirms that the Warsaw Pact sought to protect its existing advantage in conventional forces in Europe. The conventional view is that the Western side was against any reductions and that the political objectives of the talks (for the Eastern side the conclusion of the Conference on Security and Cooperation i…
Détenteand conventional arms control: West German policy priorities and the origins of MBFR
The standard view of the negotiations on mutual and balanced force reductions 1973–86 is that no progress was made because the Warsaw Pact sought to protect its existing advantage in conventional forces in Europe, while the western side was against any reductions. Moreover, the political objectives of the talks (for the eastern side the conclusion of CSCE, for the western side the maintenance of domestic support for troop commitments to Europe) w…
