  • Terrorism

    Open AccessJohn SteinbrunerARTICLEInternational Studies Review2005

    Terrorism is obviously a term that is widely used and poorly defined. As best I can judge, the existing literature does not provide either a generally agreed upon definition of the term or a categorization of the meaningfully different circumstances to which the term has been applied. There are nonetheless some commonsense distinctions that can be used in considering an appropriate research agenda on the topic. Assuming that the fundamental conce…

    John SteinbrunerARTICLEThe Washington Quarterly2000

    Accidental war, not intentional aggression, is the main threat today. The current arms control regime needs to be renovated to reflect this change. Reassurance should be arms control's main purpose. What would be the implications

  • National Security and the Concept of Strategic Stability

    Open AccessJohn D Steinbruner, John SteinbrunerARTICLEJournal of Conflict Resolution1978Cited by: 11References: 1

    Strategic stability has been defined as a characteristic of deterrence based on mutual assured destruction and has been measured largely in terms of the potential vulnerability of strategic force components, notably land-based missiles. This conception does not incorporate the effects on the strategic balance of the opposing systems of command, communications and control which given current force levels constitutes perhaps its most sensitive dime…

  • Strategic Vulnerability

    John D Steinbruner, John Steinbruner et al.ARTICLEInternational Security1976Cited by: 12

    IXmong its many consequences, the basic agreement on strategic arms limitations announced at the Vladivostok summit in November 1974 seems destined to energize a long simmering debate over the vulnerability of the land-based missile component of the United States strategic forces. The decidedly permissive limit on multiple-warhead missiles, tentatively set at 1320, means that each side will be able to allocate a relatively large number of separat…

  • Beyond Rational Deterrence

    Open AccessJohn SteinbrunerARTICLEWorld Politics1976Cited by: 20References: 4

    Throughout the nuclear era, United States strategic defense policy has been conceptualized in terms of the rational theory of decision. Though this has been on balance a happy arrangement for the primary policy of deterrence, there are anomalies in the theory which make its extension to problems of arms control problematic and which lead to well-known doubts about crisis stability. Given the seriousness of the latter issues, it is well to conside…

  • The Cybernetic Theory of Decision

    John D Steinbruner, John SteinbrunerBOOKCybernetic Theory of Decision1974

    In this classic work, John Steinbruner argues that the time is ripe for exploration of a new theoretical perspective on the decision-making process in government. He suggests that the cybernetic theory of decision as developed in such diverse fields as information theory, mathematical logic, and behavioral psychology generates a systematic but non-rational analysis that seems to explain quite naturally decisions that are puzzling when viewed from…
