0:42- 2:16 Case Study: The Dual-Track Decision
2:17-6:39 Extended Deterrence and Arms Control
6:40-7:50 The Future of Arms Control and U.S. Alliances
The third module of Arms Control 101 explores the crucial role U.S. allies play in shaping arms control agreements. When allies are included in the consultative process, arms control can bolster extended deterrence and alliance cohesion and can advance nonproliferation objectives. The episode outlines the crucial role of allies in advancing transatlantic security through case studies on the dual-track decision, the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, and the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty.
Arms Control 101 is a three-part video series that explores foundational ideas in arms control as well as specific arms control agreements, and the role of arms control in international security. It also describes how arms control is related to other theories in nuclear policy, including deterrence, extended deterrence, and strategic stability.
This project was made possible by support from the National Nuclear Security Administration under Grant NA-4178.
