Etat : Como nuevo. : En 'The Opportunity', Steven Pifer y Michael O'Hanlon argumentan que el control de armas puede abordar desafíos de seguridad clave y mejorar la seguridad global. Proponen medidas para reducir la amenaza nuclear, fortalecer la estabilidad estratégica, promover la transparencia de arsenales nucleares secretos, ahorrar en presupuestos de defensa, reforzar la credibilidad estadounidense contra la proliferación nuclear y construir una relación más sostenible entre EE. UU. y Rusia. El libro examina si puede haber otro tratado importante entre EE. UU. y Rusia, si las ojivas nucleares tácticas y estratégicas excedentes pueden ser controladas, y si se puede alcanzar un modus vivendi sobre defensa antimisiles, así como acuerdos multilaterales sobre pruebas nucleares y producción de materiales fisibles.

Steven Pifer is a retired Foreign Service officer, his more than 25 years with the State Department focused on U.S. relations with the former Soviet Union and Europe, as well as arms control and security issues. He served as deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs with responsibilities for Russia and Ukraine (2001-2004), ambassador to Ukraine (1998-2000), and special assistant to the president and senior director for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia on the National Security Council (1996-1997). Michael E. O'Hanlon is a senior fellow and director of research in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution, where he specializes in U.S. defense strategy, the use of military force, and American national security policy. He directs the Strobe Talbott Center on Security, Strategy and Technology, as well as the Defense Industrial Base working group, and is the inaugural holder of the Philip H. Knight Chair in Defense and Strategy. He co-directs the Africa Security Initiative as well. He is an adjunct professor at Columbia, Georgetown, and George Washington universities, and a member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He also serves as a member of the Defense Policy Board at the U.S. Department of Defense. O'Hanlon was a member of the external advisory board at the Central Intelligence Agency from 2011-12. For some observers, nuclear arms control is either a relic of the cold war, or a utopian dream about a denuclearized planet decades in the future. But, as Brookings scholars Steven Pifer and Michael O'Hanlon argue in The Opportunity, arms control can address some key security challenges facing Washington today and enhance both American and global security. Pifer and O'Hanlon make a compelling case for further arms control measures--to reduce the nuclear threat to the United States and its allies, to strengthen strategic stability, to promote greater transparency regarding secretive nuclear arsenals, to create the possibility for significant defense budget savings, to bolster American credibility in the fight to curb nuclear proliferation, and to build a stronger and more sustainable U.S.-Russia relationship. President Obama gave priority to nuclear arms control early in his first term and, by all accounts, would like to be transformational on these questions. Can there be another major U.S.-Russia arms treaty? Can the tactical and surplus strategic nuclear warheads that have so far escaped controls be brought into such a framework? Can a modus vivendi be reached between the two countries on missile defense? And what about limits on nuclear testing and production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons? Pifer and O'Hanlon concisely frame the issues, the background, and the choices facing the president; provide practical policy recommendations; and put it all in clear prose that will be easily understood by the layman.
