Description

Containing background material on the current East-West arms control negotiations, this book is prepared by experts representing the key participating nations in these negotiations. It clarifies some of the key conceptual issues related to the Vienna Talks on Conventional Forces in Europe. It outlines the reasons why there is renewed interest in conventional arms, because of the improved relationships between the superpowers, the domestic economic problems in the Soviet Union as well as the budget deficit problems in the United States and President Corbachev's new political strategy in Europe.
