  • The Politics: How Did We Get Here?
    Michael Nacht The Politics: How Did We Get Here? After many years of being on the “back burner,” it is increasingly appar- ent that a broad consensus is building among Washington policymakers to authorize the initial deployment of a national missile defense (NMD) sys- tem. This political turnaround is surprising given the decades-long de- bate about the wisdom of sustaining the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and the unwillingness of Presidents Ronald Reagan or George Bush to seek withdrawal from this treaty. What has led to this pro- nounced shift in attitudes? It is instructive to understand the historical evolution of the political debate to appreciate both where we are and where we might be headed. Historical Perspectives It is a completely natural instinct to protect oneself against potential adversaries. The dynamic of measure, countermeasure, and counter- countermeasure has always been at the heart of military affairs. Anti- submarine warfare capabilities and anti-aircraft systems have been central elements of modern military arsenals for more than a half-cen- Michael Nacht is dean and professor of public policy in the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. From 1994 to 1997 he served as assistant director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

Contemporary Nuclear Debates 3 l Nacht tury. After the United States and the Soviet Union began to deploy nuclear-armed ballistic missiles in the late 1950s and 1960s, it was not at all surprising that each side would in turn seek to acquire missile de- fenses against these nuclear threats.

Over time, veteran policy hands in the exec- utive and legislative branches, as well as academia, thinks tanks and the media, come to believe that they understand all the important dimensions of security. And yet, for most, one dimension – space – presents a signi"cant gap in their understanding. Space’s importance is major, growing and underappreciated inside the Washington Beltway. Over a half century ago, the US-Soviet space race captured the imagination of the American people, and the manned space program from the 1960s onward bred na- tional competence in the design, manufacture and launch of rockets, satellites and payloads with ever-greater capabilities.

While the military history of Archimedes' directed energy weapon remains in question, the painting illustrates how technological innovation translates into strategic latency.

  • Teaching During Wartime: Security Studies in the Liberal Arts
    Teaching During Wartime: Security Studies in the Liberal Arts Proposal for a Mellon 23 Workshop Workshop Leaders Stacie Goddard Wellesley College Paul MacDonald Williams College Alexander Montgomery Reed College Workshop Organizers Erica Chenoweth Wesleyan University Brent Durbin Smith College Teaching During Wartime: Security Studies in the Liberal Arts 1. Description Rationale and Audience Security studies is an interdisciplinary field broadly concerned with the organized use of violence by human groups.1 Within this field, faculty teaching and research interests are diverse; courses in security studies introduce students to topics including the causes of war, civil strife, ethnic violence, terrorism, the spread of nuclear weapons, counterinsurgency, humanitarian intervention, and peacekeeping. These courses require deep subject knowledge and an ability to incorporate approaches from different disciplines. Given the United States’ continuing involvement in two wars, there is considerable interest in courses on these topics from students. These students come from a broad range of disciplinary and personal backgrounds, posing unique challenges to faculty. For example, a number of students enter courses with a wealth of experience, some having observed war first-hand as civilians and others having served as members of the armed forces. Other students come in with very little knowledge of the field aside from what they see in movies or video games. This workshop aims to address some of these challenges by building a network of young scholars teaching security studies in the liberal arts environment. The goal is to discuss various challenges that have emerged recently in teaching security studies, while also sharing and developing innovative pedagogical approaches.
