A Reversal of Fortunes? Extended Deterrence and Assurance in Europe and East Asia 1
The extended deterrence relationships between the United States and its allies in Europe and East Asia have been critical to regional and global security and stability, as well as to nonproliferation efforts, since the late 1950s. These relationships developed in different regional contexts, and reflect differing cultural, political and military realities in the US allies and their relations with the United States. Although extended deterrence an…
South African Rollback
As the only country in history to have created, then voluntarily renounced, a nuclear arsenal, South Africa is often referenced as a potential model for nuclear disarmament. However, this article argues that there are sharp limitations on the extent to which the South African case can be applied as a model for other countries to follow. Because South Africa unilaterally dismantled its program and only brought in inspectors from the International …

WMD Monitoring and Verification Regimes
In the years following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, there emerged a generally accepted view that the US government misinterpreted, or even deliberately misconstrued, the intelligence on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that, in sharp contrast, international monitoring and verification regimes correctly verified prior to the war that Iraq had no WMD and deterred Saddam Hussein from pursuing them. Critiques of international inspections ten…
Nato Nuclear Forces and the New Nuclear Threats
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's nuclear forces were central to deterrence and defence during the Cold War. Their future role is far less clear in the dramatically changed security environment since its end. Despite concerns about the long-term evolution of Russia and China, the major threats to national and international security today stem not from confrontations between great powers, but from proliferation and terrorism.Proliferation c…

Reassessing security assurances in a unipolar world
The same changes to the international security environment that have increased the interest in security assurances may also be making new types of security assurances possible and may make them more important as means to address today's greatest proliferation threats
Assessing virtual nuclear arsenals
The term 'virtual nuclear arsenals' has recently entered the lexicon of nuclear strategy, arms control and non-proliferation. Virtual-nuclear-weapons capabilities are, to some degree, a reality of physics that inevitably results from the spread of nuclear-energy technologies and programmes. But an examination of the cases of South Africa, Israel, Japan, Belarus, Khazakstan and Ukraine suggests that virtual arsenals will have limited appeal for mo…
