these states should also account

Second, these states should also account in their security strategies for the nature and impact of blurring boundaries between conventional and nuclear capabilities. This necessitates careful analysis of how others perceive ‘strategic’ effects—technologically, materially and militarily, as well as politically. For instance, both China and Russia have rejected US diplomatic efforts to compartmentalize nuclear arms control from the broader strategic context. Challenging the traditional boundaries of concepts such as ‘strategic effect’ and moving beyond cold war-era frames of reference may enable greater understanding among Nordic and other European states of the wider consequences of their national-level decisions in the conventional realm, while facilitating innovative and less risky policy solutions, including arms control. สล็อตเว็บตรง
