Present political strategy has failed at all attempts to reach a solution to the disarmament problem. Time limits are placed on negotiations as representatives threaten to walk out of conferences to uphold their national prestige; heads of State agree to meet only a single day to discuss unfathomable issues; and deadlines are set for the resumption of nuclear testing just before disarmament talks are scheduled to begin. These pressure tactics and a myriad of strategies and counterstrategies may have transformed international politics into a grand befuddling game. Could the diplomatic foxes be outguessing and outwitting each other in vain? For it is not certain that a solution to partial disarmament exists; and even if it were to exist, whether it could, in any realistic sense, be attained. Conventional types of verbal bargaining have, at least until now, proved woefully inadequate to deal with the immense difficulties involved in negotiating thousands of different classes of weapons. If countries ever seriously decide to disarm themselves of weapons, new methods of bargaining will certainly be needed. Without considering the important problem of inspection or the political wisdom of disarmament, this paper explores the application of the bargaining technique of divide and choose to disamament negotiations
