Description
Summary:A new 'Atlantic to the Urals' (ATTU) conventional arms control forum , currently known as Conventional Stability Talks (CST) will be replacing the Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction (MBFR) Talks. This study examines the background of conventional arms control; establishes principles for 'how to think about conventional arms control' (CAC); discusses 21 major issues in CAC to include the positions of the relevant actors on each issue; describes a framework of seven core criteria to be used in USG position development and proposal and counter-proposal evaluation analysis; projects probable outcomes of the CST process; and presents possible uses for returning force structure in preparing for the post-CAC environment. Supersedes rept. dated 24 Jun 1988, ADB124352. See also Volume 2, ADC956074.
