How does the Soviet Union view the costs and benefits of nuclear arms control?

Originally published in 1985, the level of anxiety and suspicion between the USA and the USSR had rarely been higher.

Originally published in 1983, this book presents both the technical and political information necessary to evaluate the emerging threat to world security posed by recent advances in uranium enrichment technology.

Originally published in 1977, the purpose of this book was to analyse the relationship between the security of two states mutually undergoing strategic disarmament at the time and the need for safeguarding their security by means of a verification system.

Moral and political questions are vitally relevant to the issue of survival in the nuclear age.

There is growing interest world wide in nuclear-free zones.

Safeguards play a key role in verifying the effectiveness of restraints on the spread of nuclear weapons.

To constrain nuclear proliferation, one must, in addition to designing a proliferation-resistant nuclear fuel cycle, identify a set of long-term arms limitation and security policies for the major states.

Originally published in 1993, this volume was unique in its scope and approach: Unlike most literature on nuclear weapons proliferation at the time, the essays in this volume offer theoretical discussions and suggest testable hypotheses about the causes and effects of nuclear weapons proliferation.
