Towards Nuclear Stewardship with China / Binnendijk, Hans; Gompert, David C

Binnendijk, Hans	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

With the rising risk of complex crises and military escalation in the Pacific region, the United States should invite China into a process of nuclear restraint and confidence-building, which we call ‘nuclear stewardship’. This process could start with a joint bilateral declaration that neither superpower would use nuclear weapons first against the other or its formal allies. This would acknowledge that neither side could gain by striking first with a nuclear device. This declaration could be the leading edge of a broader set of discussions on strategic stability and eventual implementation of confidence-building measures designed to enhance mutual understanding and trust in the US–Chinese nuclear relationship.

Transforming European forces / Binnendijk, Hans

Description	117-132
Summary/Abstract	NATO is embarking on a second round of enlargement while consolidating a promising new relationship with Russia. Yet these achievements have been overshadowed by growing concerns that the alliance is becoming irrelevant. At the heart of these concerns is a yawning gap in military capabilities between the United States and its European allies. The answer is not to rehash old complaints about European foot-dragging or American drum-beating. Rather, NATO should refocus its stalled Defence Capabilities Initiative (DCI) on using defence transformation to build a small ‘Spearhead Response Force’, that is, a European force capable of being a lead-element in assertive NATO efforts to cope with new threats. A new defence initiative will make little progress if it merely streamlines the NATO command structure and pursues a compressed list of DCI measures in unfocused ways. There must be a clear concentration on the specific forces to be used for new missions, which must be fully equipped with the necessary capabilities
