Abstract:

The transition to strategic defense cannot. occur overnight. Therefore, a carefully thought-out strategic conceptualization should be developed to guide the transition to a defense-dominant strategic relationship with the Soviet Union. Through the implementation of this new approach to arms control, the post-World War II vision of a world free of the threat of nuclear devastation might finally be achieved.
