Europe and Naval Arms Control in the Gorbachev Era

Although for a long time naval arms control was the forgotten dimension of arms control, it has become increasingly prominent in recent years. However, it is usually studied from the perspective of Soviet-American relations. This book examines the subject from a European perspective. What role might naval arms control play in the European context? What impact might naval arms control have on the interests and perceptions of European states? What opportunities for and obstacles to naval arms control exist in Europe? This collection of essays addresses these questions, describing the naval interests and attitudes towards naval arms control of European coastal states, as well as the Soviet Union and the United States, in the Norwegian, Baltic, and Mediterranean seas.Furst, Andreas is the author of 'Europe and Naval Arms Control in the Gorbachev Era' with ISBN 9780198291527 and ISBN 0198291523.
