  • Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited
    Never Say Never Again Never Say Never Again Ariel E. Levite Nuclear Reversal Revisited A serious gap exists in scholarly understanding of nuclear proliferation. The gap derives from inade- quate attention to the phenomena of nuclear reversal and nuclear restraint as well as insufªcient awareness of the biases and limitations inherent in the em- pirical data employed to study proliferation. This article identiªes “nuclear hedging” as a national strategy lying between nuclear pursuit and nuclear roll- back. An understanding of this strategy can help scholars to explain the nu- clear behavior of many states; it can also help to explain why the nightmare proliferation scenarios of the 1960s have not materialized. These insights, in turn, cast new light on several prominent proliferation case studies and the unique role of the United States in combating global proliferation. They have profound implications for engaging current or latent nuclear proliferants, underscoring the centrality of buying time as the key component of a non- proliferation strategy. The article begins with a brief review of contemporary nuclear proliferation concerns. It then takes stock of the surprisingly large documented universe of nuclear reversal cases and the relevant literature.1 It proceeds to examine the empirical challenges that bedeviled many of the earlier studies, possibly skew- ing their theoretical findings. Next, it discusses the features of the nuclear reversal and restraint phenomena and the forces that inºuence them. In this context, it introduces and illustrates an alternative explanation for the nu- clear behavior of many states based on the notion of nuclear hedging. It draws on this notion and other inputs to reassess the role that the United States At the time this article was written, Ariel E.

    Narrator: Gen John W. Vessey, Jr Interviewer: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D. Date of interview: 19 February 2013 Location: Vessey residence, North Oaks, MN Transcribed by: Linda Gerber, May 2013 Edited for clarity by: Thomas Saylor, Ph.D., September 2013 and February 2014 (00:00:00) = elapsed time on digital recording TS: Today is Tuesday, 19 February 2013. This is another of our ongoing interview cycle with General John W. Vessey, Jr. My name is Thomas Saylor. Today we’re at the Vessey residence in North Oaks, Minnesota, on a bright, clear and very cold winter day. General Vessey, we wanted at first to add some additional information and perspective on Lebanon, going back to 1983. I’ll let you put the conversation in motion here. JV: After we talked last week I got to thinking that we hadn’t really explained as fully as we might have the confusion and the multiple points of view that existed both in the United States and in the world in general about Lebanon and our involvement. I’m not sure that what I remembered after you left will add any clarity to (chuckles) your reader’s understanding, but at least they’ll understand the muddled picture that I was looking at, at the time. TS: And that’s important, because even in the contemporary news accounts of the time there is a sense of confusion and wondering really what the Americans are trying to accomplish, as well as the fact that the Americans aren’t the only Western force even in Lebanon at the time.

  • When Are Arms Races Dangerous? When Are Arms Races Charles L
    When Are Arms Races Dangerous? When Are Arms Races Charles L. Glaser Dangerous? Rational versus Suboptimal Arming Are arms races dan- gerous? This basic international relations question has received extensive at- tention.1 A large quantitative empirical literature addresses the consequences of arms races by focusing on whether they correlate with war, but remains divided on the answer.2 The theoretical literature falls into opposing camps: (1) arms races are driven by the security dilemma, are explained by the rational spiral model, and decrease security, or (2) arms races are driven by revisionist adversaries, explained by the deterrence model, and increase security.3 These Charles L. Glaser is a Professor in the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the Uni- versity of Chicago.

INTRODUCTION In 2006, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, the commander responsible for coordinating the U.S. military’s Hurricane Katrina response, spoke at an intelligence community symposium about the contribution intelligence information made during Katrina relief efforts.1 While noting the value of such intelligence, Honoré explained that conflicting views about the legality of its domestic application limited its utility.2 Specifically, he stated that while some government officials were advising him that satellite intelligence capabilities could not be used within the United States, others were asking: “‘Why aren’t you using that intel stuff to tell us what’s going on down there?’”3 By providing disaster planners and responders with a common operational picture,4 satellite imagery plays an important role in both manmade and natural disaster prevention and response.
