This third monograph in the series address nuclear disarmament as seen by countries that view their nuclear arsenals as vital to offset a strategic adversary’s greater size and actual or potential conventional military capabilities. The two papers make clear that not only would dedicated US leadership be required to lead these countries to nuclear disarmament negotiations, but that, in addition, specific steps would have to be taken to reduce the threats perceived by Israel and Pakistan, giving them the confidence to join the other nuclear-armed countries in multilateral reductions. Of the two, Israel probably poses the greater challenge.
