An ambitious arms control agenda requires a new organization equal to the task
An exceedingly challenging agenda of urgent, important, and diverse arms control issues awaits the incoming Biden administration. To address it, the administration should consider the creation of a new agency to focus on cooperative threat reduction; alternatively, deft reorganization of key elements of the executive branch could be pursued swiftly, without requiring legislation. An examination of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency’s impress…
Practical Lessons from US Foreign Policy
The war that must never be fought
The Survival Strategies of Small Nations
The strong decide; the weak accept' is no longer the reality of international relations. Small nations have survived and even prospered, even as big nations have suffered through hard times
Redirecting US Diplomacy
The system of nation-states is evolving into something more complex and indeterminate. One important development has been creation of regional communities. If these are to thrive in their own distinctive way, national governments, including United States, will need to support creative policies that harmonize interests, not only within such communities but also among them. Policy planners, therefore, must think globally and act regionally. *******…
Eight Negotiations – Seventeen Lessons
Recalling episodes from several major international security negotiations in which he was personally involved, Ambassador Goodby derives lessons and teachable moments for both negotiators and their political masters. These negotiations span nearly all of the Cold War and early-Post Cold War periods and include negotiations on the nuclear test ban, strategic arms reductions, confidence-building measures in Europe, and cooperative threat reduction …
The Reality
Deterrence is becoming less effective and increasingly hazardous. A series of practical steps can be initiated leading to a world without nuclear weapons. As the world proceeds down that path, political conditions will be created that will improve its prospects
The Limited Test Ban Negotiations, 1954–63
The test ban treaty negotiations had their origins in a larger-than-expected U.S. thermonuclear explosion in the Pacific in 1954. Nearly a decade later, in 1963, Great Britain, the Soviet Union, and the United States concluded a treaty that permitted underground explosions but banned them in other environments. It was the first treaty of the Cold War to place limits on nuclear operations, but it was not what the negotiators had originally sought …
Glimmer of a New Leviathan
The Second World War put an end to America’s historical isolation from international power politics, and so also to the long-standing American defiance of the Realist ideology that shaped Old World affairs. The advent of transoceanic military technologies, now wielded by menacing states such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, made Americans more receptive to the Realist idea that international relations is about fear and survival. The American…

"Northern Territories" and Beyond
When War Won Out
The elements bearing on the prospects for a political settlement in Bosnia-Herzegovina came together in 1995 in a way that made peace possible. These included a forceful US lead in the negotiations, a protracted NATO air campaign, a shift in the local balance of power adverse to the Bosnian Serbs, expulsion of the Serbian population from Krajina, and a readiness of Serbian President Milosevic to negotiate a settlement on behalf of the Bosnian Ser…
