The second module of Arms Control 101 explores the link between arms control and deterrence through providing a historical and theoretical overview of strategic stability. The module then explains the practical underpinnings of strategic arms control agreements between the United States and Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), including the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty and START I. The episode concludes by reflecting on the future of arms control and deterrence in the new era of strategic competition. Arms Control 101 is a three-part video series that explores foundational ideas in arms control as well as specific arms control agreements, and the role of arms control in international security. It also describes how arms control is related to other theories in nuclear policy, including deterrence, extended deterrence, and strategic stability. This project was made possible by support from the National Nuclear Security Administration under Grant NA-4178. 0:00 Introduction 1:24 History and Theory 4:13 Arms Control in Practice 7:51 The Future of Arms Control and Deterrence --------------------------------------------- A nonpartisan institution, CSIS is the top national security think tank in the world.
