Proliferation management in South-East Asia

Article Abstract:

South-east Asian states need to develop regional forums to foster dialogue among themselves on arms race management. Conditions of economic growth and territorial disputes have necessitated the creation of mechanisms to ensure commitment to non-proliferation. Though the military spending has increased due to regional conflicts, awareness of the need for peace, transparency and acceptance of verification procedures has also increased. These regional entities should either abide to current arms-control global regimes or resolve persisting tensions in regional regimes.

Proliferation risks and their strategic relevance: what role for NATO?

Article Abstract:

NATO made arms proliferation risks a top priority in its June 1994 'Policy Framework on Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction,' which addressed the possible use of weapons against Western European states, the US and Western forces operating in out-of-area missions. Regional security management in areas with high potential for proliferation is essential in the post-cold war period, and NATO will likely play a role. The threat from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, the impact on world economies and NATO's powers to address these issues are discussed.

Proliferation, counter-proliferation and NATO

Article Abstract:

The proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons is a problem that needs NATO's immediate attention in the post-cold war security setup. The 1994 summit enabled NATO to make significant progress in the direction, including agreeing upon a risk assessment of proliferation in relation to the Alliance, and setting up an overall policy towards combatting the proliferation. NATO needs to address conceptual and resource obstacles by adapting to the new security atmosphere, which will enable it to contain threats arising out of regional conflicts.
