The future of U.S. non-strategtic nuclear weapons and implications for NATO : drifting toward the foreseeable future / [electronic resource] Jeffrey A. Larsen - [Brussels] : NATO, 2006 - 113 p.

SIP1322 "31 October 2006". A report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the 2005-06 NATO Manfred Wörner Fellowship for NATO Public Diplomacy Division. This report examines non-strategic nuclear weapons (NSNW) and the policy implications they manifest. In particular, the study considers the possibility of changing NATO policies toward U.S. NSNW in the post-9/11 era and their ongoing role in protecting Europe. The future of NSNW in NATO is uncertain due to a combination of factors: U.S. bureaucratic perspectives and pressures, Russian public diplomacy efforts, anti-nuclear European publics and pending government decisions, and the requirements for updating NATO strategy.
