About this book

Is there a role for traditional arms control in today’s increasingly complex security environment? What new concepts and mechanisms are needed to make it valuable as a tool for managing competition and conflict amid the rise of new strategic domains and the spread of new technologies and weapons? Addressing these critical questions, the authors of Arms Control at a Crossroads review the foundations of arms control and cooperative security, highlight the perspectives of the major nuclear powers, and assess current initiatives and future potential for meeting the challenges ahead.
