Fundamentals of Arms Control
University of St. Gallen
Spring 2023
This lecture provides an overview about key literature of late 20th-century arms control, aiming to establish a profound understanding of fundamental ideas and strategies that advanced arms control efforts between adversarial nations during the Cold War. Subsequently, the lecture shifts focus to the contemporary challenges facing arms control in the early 21st century, stemming from the declining commitment of states to this discipline. Since students of this course aim to follow a career in practice, the readings are a mix of academic and more policy-oriented articles.
