註釋

This study investigates the origins of the dominant, postwar, American approach to nuclear arms control. It followed from three initial assumptions: (1) a single, relatively cohesive theory of nuclear arms control existed by 1962 and could be distilled from the abundant literature of the time; (2) this theory had significant influence on the development of American strategy; and (3) the theory's component concepts could be traced back through the literature of the earlier postwar period. The purpose of this study is to clarify the dominant arms control theory of the 1960s, here termed the Cambridge Approach, to distinguish it from disarmament theory, and to determine how it evolved as it did. The study is concerned with the history of arms control negotiations or agreements only insofar as they related to evolving ideas about how arms control might serve national security and international stability more generally.
