Download or read book Innovation and the Arms Race written by Matthew Evangelista and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation and the Arms Race investigates the causes and mechanisms of the "technological arms race" between the United States and the Soviet Union. Challenging the commonly held notion that Soviet weapons innovation processes simply mirror those of the United States, Matthew Evangelista shows that the United States usually leads in introducing new military technology, while the Soviets typically react to American initiatives. Evangelista bases his study of pivotal nuclear weapons development decisions on a variety of US and USSR primary sources, including the memoirs of weapons designers and scientists, declassified intelligence analyses, Soviet Academy of Science documents, and Nikita Khruschev's taped reminiscences. He finds that in the United States, impetus for innovation comes "from the bottom" at the initiative of corporate or government researchers and military officials, whereas the centralized Soviet system produces innovations "from the top" in response to foreign developments. A revelatory analysis of US military policy, Soviet-American relations, and weaponry development, Innovation and the Arms Race bears lessons for the study of great power competition and military innovation today.

Download or read book Nuclear Crisis Management written by Richard Ned Lebow and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Ned Lebow spells out the implications of historical experience for American perceptions of the place of crisis management in superpower strategic relations. identifying and discussing three reasons for the outbreak of World War I—preemption, loss of control, and miscalculated escalation—he argues that all three are equally serious threats to peace and survival. He documents how psychological stress in past crises has induced erratic, dysfunctional behavior from national leaders, even paralysis. A nuclear crisis, he argues, would generate even more acute stress because of the unprecedented destructiveness of nuclear weapons and the extreme time pressure that leaders are likely to face.

Download or read book Soviet Theater Nuclear Forces written by Robert Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum examines the nature of the Soviet theater nuclear force improvements, the role nuclear weapons play in Soviet doctrine, and the implications of the Soviet theater nuclear buildup for deterrence and defense in Europe. The author concludes that the changing balance of theater nuclear capabilities has resulted in a devaluation of the Western nuclear deterrent, a decline in Western self-confidence, and increase in the vulnerability of the West's nuclear forces and critical command, control, and supply nodes. In response, the author contends that the West must shift the emphasis of its nuclear capabilities from short-range, battlefield systems to long-range Eurostrategic systems, modernize its short-range systems through the introduction of reduced blast/enhanced radiation weapons, and optimize its training, doctrine, force structures, and force dispositions for operations in a nuclear as well as conventional and chemical environments.

Book excerpt: Beukel (political science, Odense U., Denmark) analyzes the ways in which American governments have perceived the Soviet Union as a nuclear adversary since the early 1960s.
