Publisher's Synopsis
Conventional arms control in Europe was not a serious prospect until the mid-1980s. Yet within 5 years the Cold War drew to an end with a series of complex agreements to mark its peaceful military conclusion. This important book examines the role of arms as a key element in European security architecture. It develops the concept that arms control, from being unimportant prior to the 1990s, now represents a significant part of the increased military engagement and cooperation between East and West. -
