Examining the new dangers and challenges to international security in Europe in the post-cold war era, the author argues for the need to redefine and restructure arms control at a time when most European nations no longer perceive each other as threats, and when security concerns have shifted from external to internal sources. Particular emphasis is given to the role which could and should be played by the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe for the prevention of intra-state armed conflicts.

India’s ad hoc Arsenal traces the evolution of the domestic dynamics of Indian defense policy since 1947. Chris Smith provides an in-depth analysis of defense policy from 1947 to 1962, a period often ignored by Indian defense analysts, and an evaluation of the performance of the defense industrial base. The author concludes that India’s defense policy is designed more to achieve a great power status than to acquire security at an affordable price.

Although a realistic appraisal of Soviet defense efforts is crucial to strategic planning and foreign policy analysis, knowledge in this area is limited to incomplete Soviet figures and unsatisfactory U.S. estimates. Using newly available sources of economic, scientific, and technical military information, an international team of defense authorities here reviews the current knowledge of Soviet defense expenditure, and introduces the most recent and original alternative methods of understanding and appraisal. What emerges is a fascinating account of what is perhaps the single most important "

Since the early 1980s, information technology, particularly artificial intelligence, has steadily grown in importance as a potential element in many military projects, including the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), the automated tactical battlefield, and arms control verification. In this volume, thirteen experts look at the major technical, strategic, and political aspects of the issue, assessing its promises and dangers. The first broad overview of the proposed military applications of computers, Arms and Artificial Intelligence considers the conceptual and technical framework of artifici
