Arms control theory
in the
United States
was first developed during the period from 1958 to 1962. The term
traditional
arms control
theory
refers to the premises of strategic analysts who first formulated arms control as a possible adjunct to national security. Traditional arms control theory is reflective of the
assumptions
, analyses and priorities of
defense
analysts from that
era
. Development of arms control was part of a re-evaluation of
U.S.
foreign policy
which arose after several unsuccessful attempts to form disarmament arrangements with the
Soviet Union
through
diplomatic
means since 1945. The
Baruch Plan
and the
Open Skies Treaty
are a couple examples of these attempts. The lack of results yielded was largely due to
Soviet
dissatisfaction with measures for
verification
. Thus, more modest
goals
of arms control came to replace the original ones of complete
disarmament
. A new
generation
of
theorist
s and
military
leaders free of traditional biases led to a revisionist outlook on
tactics
and
strategy
. And finally, the Soviet launching of
Sputnik
in 1957 and the reverberations of the event caused anxiety about long-term effectiveness of
nuclear deterrence
. It caused U.S. defense intellectuals to consider the
technological
threat
s to
nuclear stability
.
