Missile defense and strategic stability
South Korea is threatened by its troubled relationship with North Korea. North Korea possesses a large cache of missiles as well as chemical and biological weapons, and the future potential to mount nuclear weapons on its missiles. The United States is also challenged because of its defense commitments to Seoul. As a countermeasure, the United States and South Korea decided to deploy Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defenses in…
Sanctions as a nonproliferation tool
Libya's nuclear program provides a relatively straightforward “closed case” that allows us to analyze the contribution of economic and diplomatic sanctions to nonproliferation efforts. While Libya endured substantial economic difficulties during the period when sanctions were in place, sanctions served mostly as a magnifier for these problems, rather than as a primary cause. However, we find that sanctions can be an effective nonproliferation too…
Obstacles and Opportunities for a Tactical Nuclear Weapons Treaty between Russia and the United States
Tactical nuclear weapons have emerged as an unavoidable issue for future nuclear weapons negotiations between Russia and the United States. This article discusses challenges and opportunities regarding a tactical nuclear weapons treaty. It begins with an overview of precedents from the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and the 1991 Presidential Nuclear Initiatives. These and subsequent experiences show three major obstacles that must be ove…
The Least Bad Option? Extending the Nuclear Umbrella to the Middle East
This article examines the merits of extending the U.S. nuclear deterrent to the Middle East. It begins by looking at past practices of such an extension before delving into the overall issues presented by providing such a security guarantee. This article then looks at a brief survey of some of the regional issues facing a nuclear extension before considering the P-5 states and their concerns
An Analysis of Reduced Collateral Damage Nuclear Weapons
In the new security environment with a new U.S. defense strategy, nuclear weapons remain critical to U.S. national security as well as to international security. However, legacy nuclear systems are not optimally configured for the new and emerging contingencies of this environment. A common thread likely to run through the desirable characteristics of most future systems is reduced collateral damage (RCD). Improved accuracy enables lower yield we…
