Abstract
Following a brief and surprisingly straightforward Preparatory Meeting in Helsinki, the CDE opened in Stockholm on 17 January 1984 against an inauspicious international background. From its outset the conference was part of a wider security picture in Europe and between the United States and the Soviet Union. Thus its utility was judged by its participants from a number of different perspectives: as a subordinate part of the CSCE process; as an arms control forum; as a prospective disarmament forum; as an arena of East-West conflict and potential co-operation; and as a sideshow or piece of theatre in the bi-polar clash of interests between the United States and the Soviet Union.
