Zustand: Very Good. Overall very good condition. Despite the apparent novelty of the subject, defense against ballistic missiles has been a persistent topic in transatlantic relations for over half a century. In particular, America's European allies, especially Britain, have frequently been concerned by the wider implications of U. S. repeated efforts to develop and deploy missile defenses. The end of the Cold War has completely altered the strategic circumstances within which ballistic missile defense (BMD) policy is formulated, while technological developments are making effective defense more feasible. However, the subject retains a large historical legacy of attitudes derived from earlier times and has lost little of its controversy. Britain has a particular role to play in U. S. BMD plans, beyond its long-standing status as America's most important ally. The United Kingdom is host to one of three Ballistic Missile Early Warning Stations (BMEWS) and to the European ground station for the Space- Based Infra-Red System (SBIRS), both vital elements in U. S. missile defense architecture. Britain also has a long record of technological cooperation in missile defense. However, British Governments have consistently taken a different view on the nature and severity of the ballistic missile threat, and on the appropriate means by which to deal with missile proliferation. The UK is generally skeptical about the technological promise of active defense, heavily constrained by limited defense resources, and has a greater attachment than American governments to other means of nonproliferation. Tactical defense against shorter range missiles is now regarded as un-contentious, though also unfunded. In regard to strategic homeland defense, Britain does not regard itself as under a ballistic threat other than the long established Russian and Chinese rocket forces. Continued adherence to diplomatic means and established deterrence postures is the preferred method of dealing with those capabilities. Britons do not share American concerns about North Korea, and are not prepared to view China as a long-term strategic competitor requiring a BMD response. The UK is not prepared, however, to let disagreements over missile defense prejudice the two countries' wider security relationship. It is also progressively shedding many of its previous concerns about the wider consequences of missile defense deployment and gaining a better appreciation of the advantages of collaboration in both the policy and technical fields. For America's part, an understanding of the UK's stance and a willingness to engage in honest and forthright consultation are essential if the United States is to maximize the advantages of international cooperation in missile defense and avoid some of its penalties. Despite a recent focus on events in Iraq, missile defense remains a vital issue in U. S.-British relations and a subject of considerable intrinsic importance. Both countries need to better understand each other's policies and concerns, and cooperate in providing effective and appropriate defense capabilities.…

Wraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First Printing. vi, 38, [4] pages. Endnotes after each. Some slight wear to the cover edges. The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. Paraphrased from the Foreword by Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr., SSI's Director: U.S. plans for missile defense have been a contentious issue in transatlantic relations for nearly 40 years. U.S. allies have potentially important roles to play in American missile defense and have developing requirements of their own. Dr. Jeremy Stocker examines the many facets of the role that Britain, America's closest and strongest ally, plays in missile defense, and to identify the ways in which disagreements can be minimized and cooperation enhanced. The author is Director of Studies at the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (CDISS), a British independent defense think tank. He served in the Royal Navy for 20 years, specializing in air defense, before transferring to the Royal Naval Reserve in 1996.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Britain was the first country to come under sustained ballistic missile attack, during 1944-45. Defense against ballistic missiles has been a persistent, if highly variable, subject of political policy and technical investigation ever since. The British Second World War experience of trying to counter the V-2 attacks contained many elements of subsequent responses to ballistic missile threats: an uncertain intelligence picture; the establishment of an early-warning system; a counter-force campaign to destroy rockets on the ground; passive defense measures to ameliorate the effects of missile strikes; and elaborate but untried active defenses to intercept missiles in flight. After the war, a reasonably accurate picture of Soviet missile capabilities was not achieved until the early 1960s, by which time the problem of early warning had largely been solved. Early British efforts to develop active defenses, however, foundered because of the formidable technical challenges and limited resources, but some defenses were established by the Americans and the Soviets. From the mid-1960s on, British attention shifted away from the development of the country's own defenses towards the wider consequences of US and Soviet deployments. British concerns centered around the implications of active defense for strategic stability, the arms-control process and the credibility of the UK's small nuclear deterrent. The British government had to respond three times to American defense programs, though each time its worries were ultimately assuaged. Soviet defenses around Moscow were more problematic and resulted in a sophisticated and expensive project - Chevaline - to overcome them. After theend of the Cold War there was renewed interest in a limited active-defense capability against Third World missile threats. A series of technical and policy studies has yet to result in a procurement decision, but looks increasingly likely in coming years. This well-researched b.…
