  • Roland Timerbaev on LIBYA, ANTIMISSILE DEFENSE, AS WELL AS OTHER AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL EVENTS
    Roland Timerbaev ON LIBYA, ANTIMISSILE DEFENSE, AS WELL AS OTHER AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL EVENTS In September 2007, Ambassador Roland Timerbaev, Russia’s most eminent specialist in the area of the nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and one of the authors of the Treaty on the NonProliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), celebrated his 80th birthday. To honor this milestone, the PIR Center published the memoirs of one of the founders of our organization, our teacher, and our longtime comrade. Selected excerpts from this book appear below. On many occasions my friends have asked me to write down my recollections of my experi ences through the years, in particular about my participation in efforts to further nuclear non proliferation and disarmament, about my role both as an observer and as a participant, yet I demurred. But then some time ago, telling a good friend yet another anecdote from my life experiences and hearing yet again the suggestion that I write down my recollections, I finally decided to put pen to paper. My anecdotes are, chiefly, not about myself but unavoidably, through my participation in the events described, I am a key part of the background and am a figure in the stories since I was an observer, an eyewitness to one event or another involving important or interesting individu als, and I believe that these events are worthy of being recorded. Those events and experi ences which are reflected in my writings will not be arranged in chronological or some other PAGES particular order, but instead presented as they float into my consciousness.

On the other hand, several chapters of this book provide detailed studies of specifi c aspects of the occupation of Ukraine by German and Austro-Hungarian troops following the Treaty of UKRAINE Brest-Litovsk, signed on 9 February 1918 between the Central Powers and the Ukrainian People’s Republic.

  • Certainty of Uncertainty: Nuclear Strategy with Chinese Characteristics1
    PROGRAM ON STRATEGIC STABILITY EVALUATION (POSSE) www.posse.gatech.edu __________________________________________________________________________ Certainty of Uncertainty: Nuclear Strategy with Chinese Characteristics1 Wu Riqiang Tsinghua University, China E-mail: [email protected] 1 The author conducted the research of this article during his visit to the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC), Stanford University as a 2010/2011 Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow. www.posse.gatech.edu Abstract China’s nuclear deterrent capability relies on so-called “first strike uncertainty,” which means letting the other side be unconfident of a completely successful first strike. But the fact that the Soviet Union conducted nuclear threat against China in 1969 showed that first strike uncertainty must be high enough to deter nuclear attack or nuclear threat. This article examines the threshold. Only after China deployed the DF-3 intermediate-range ballistic missiles in mid- 1970s, the United States and the Soviet Union began to believe China had some nuclear retaliatory capability. Chinese leaders were not confident until China’s strategic missile forces gained independent launch capability in mid-1980s. U.S. missile defense is a potential destabilizing factor in Sino-U.S. strategic relations, both sides should work together in order to avoid negative security interaction. 1 Program on Strategic Stability Evaluation www.posse.gatech.edu Introduction Chinese nuclear posture is special among the five nuclear non-proliferation treaty

  • Russia's Military Strategy and Doctrine
    HOWARD AND CZEKAJ RUSSIA’S RUSSIA’S MILITARY STRATEGY MILITARY AND DOCTRINE STRATEGY Russia’s Military Strategy and Doctrine is designed to educate Russia watchers, AND DOCTRINE STRATEGY RUSSIA’S MILITARY policymakers, military leaders, and the broader foreign policy community about the Russian AND DOCTRINE Armed Forces and security apparatus across the full spectrum of geographic, doctrinal and domain areas. Each chapter addresses a different strategic-level issue related to the Russian military, ranging from “hybrid” warfare doctrine, to the role nuclear weapons play in its strategy, to cyber and electromagnetic warfare, to Moscow’s posture in the Arctic or the Black Sea, to the lessons its Armed Forces have learned from their ongoing operations in Syria and eastern Ukraine. And each section of the book is written by one of the world’s foremost experts on that theme of Russia’s military development. ­■­■­■ The key questions emphasized by this book include “how Russia fights wars” and “how its experiences with modern conflicts are shaping the evolution of Russia’s military strategy, capabilities and doctrine.” The book’s value comes not only from a piecemeal look at granular Russian strategies in each of the theaters and domains where its Armed Forces may act, but more importantly this study seeks to present a unifying description of Russia’s military strategy as a declining but still formidable global power. Russia’s Military Strategy and Doctrine will be an essential reference for US national security thinkers, NATO defense planners and policymakers the world over who must deal with the potential military and security challenges posed by Moscow.
