Negotiating Arms Control

Synopsis

Explores the process of arms control negotiation from both a US and a Soviet perspective. Negotiators and observers from both sides discuss the difficulties that arise when opposing delegators negotiate formally on arms control issues. In particular, comparisons are made between the success of SALT 1 and the less successful SALT 2 processes and the contributors speculate about the future of arms control in the light of the apparent stalemate at the time the programme was made.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
