Conventional Disarmament
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2011
Extract
The purpose of this article is, first, to analyze certain of the obstacles JL that have principally impeded progress on the subject of disarmament over the past fifteen years and more; secondly, to suggest that these difficulties may be less likely to frustrate the conclusion of limited agreements in the field of conventional weapons alone than of the more comprehensive type of agreement that has been chiefly discussed; thirdly, to try to demonstrate that, so long as comprehensive disarmament remains unattainable, progress in regard to conventional weapons is not only more easily to be achieved but more valuable than progress in other spheres; and, finally, to discuss some of the particular fields in which it might be possible to reach useful agreements within this sphere.

1 Since this article was written, the agreement on a nuclear test-ban has been concluded and signed. This represents a similar type of agreement to those mentioned, and to those proposed later in this article, in that it is a measure of limited scope, in which the risks involved, and the advantages to be won, may be readily assessed and compared, and are not therefore too remote and problematic to be psychologically acceptable.
