Survival Vol 42, No. 4, Winter 2000-01, pp. 129-140 (106)Abstract: The years ahead may be a period in which traditional nuclear-arms control, as practised since the launch of SALT negotiations over three decades ago, will stumble at best and become deadlocked at worst. Instead, The U.S may have topursue its arms-control objectives through less formal, non-treaty-based means. US-Russian nuclear reductions that are unilateral in principle, but coordinated in practice, could foster a cooperative resturcturing of both sides' nuclear-force postures. More ambitious and integrated use of post-Cold War channels of nuclear cooperation - for example, the continuing Cooperative Threat Reduction Program - offer a means to reinforce and extend unilateral actions, as well as to enhance the safety and control of Russia's nuclear arsenal.
