The United States is paying high political costs for pursuing missile defense systems whose potential military benefits lie far in the future. Uncertainty about the final performance of missile defense systems still in varying stages of development aggravates this problem, because other countries adopt worst case assumptions that the systems will be highly effective and respond accordingly. Chinese concerns about missile defense focus mainly on political questions such as the impact on Japanese militarization; whether theater missile defense (TMD) would encourage Taiwan independence; and US intentions toward China. US decisions about missile defense deployments should take this broader political context into account and should not be based solely on narrow military criteria. The negative impact of missile defense deployments on Sino-US relations could potentially be reduced by offsetting them with political and economic measures to reassure China. More

Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Robert Fred Mozley was professor emeritus of physics at Stanford University and an expert on nuclear arms control. Dr. Mozley worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, where he did research in high-energy physics on a particle-tracking device he pioneered. The device, a streamer chamber, allows physicists to study subatomic events. Dr. Mozley, who was born in Boston and graduated from Harvard University in 1938, worked on radar technology at the Sperry Gyroscope Company in World War II. He received a doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley in 1950 and took part in the construction of the world's first proton linear accelerator. After teaching and doing research at Princeton University, he joined the Stanford faculty in 1953, became a full professor in 1962 and retired in 1987. As a member of the Faculty Senate, he was among the first to sound the alarm over increasing academic reliance on Pentagon grants and official efforts to designate unclassified research as secret. In retirement he worked on arms-control issues and nuclear non-proliferation as a staff physicist for the Federation of American Scientists and contributed to several publications and a book, ''Reversing the Arms Race.'' He wrote two books, ''Uranium Enrichment and Other Technical Problems Relating to Nuclear Weapons Proliferation'' (Center for International Security and Arms Control, at Stanford, 1994) and ''Politics and Technology of Nuclear Proliferation'' (University of Washington, 1998).

Protecting U.S. security by controlling technology exports has long been a major issue. But the threat of the Soviet sphere is rapidly being superseded by state-sponsored terrorism; nuclear, chemical, biological, and missile proliferation; and other critical security factors. This volume provides a policy outline and specific steps for an urgently needed revamping of U.S. and multilateral export controls. It presents the latest information on these and many other pressing issues: The successes and failures of U.S. export controls, including a look at U.S. laws, regulations, and export licensing; U.S. participation in international agencies; and the role of industry; The effects of export controls on industry; and The growing threat of "proliferation" technologies. World events make this volume indispensable to policy makers, government security agencies, technology exporters, and faculty and students of international affairs. More
Washington DC: The National Academies Press, 2009. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. xiv, 165, [1] pages. A Note on Terminology. Footnotes. Boxes. List of Acronyms. H.R. 1585. The government's first Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programs were created in 1991 to eliminate the former Soviet Union's nuclear, chemical, and other weapons and prevent their proliferation. The programs have accomplished a great deal: deactivating thousands of nuclear warheads, neutralizing chemical weapons, converting weapons facilities for peaceful use, and redirecting the work of former weapons scientists and engineers, among other efforts. The programs must be expanded to other regions and fundamentally redesigned as an active tool of foreign policy that can address contemporary threats from groups that are that are agile, networked, and adaptable. Global Security Engagement proposes how this goal can best be achieved. To meet the magnitude of new security challenges, particularly at the nexus of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism, Global Security Engagement recommends a new, more flexible, and responsive model that will draw on a broader range of partners than current programs have.
