First, the report surveys and discusses various publicly stated U.S. or NATO objectives for CSBMs, distilling these to three core objectives: inhibiting the threatened use of force for political intimidation, reducing misunderstanding/miscalculation, and making surprise attack less likely. It then describes the original NATO package of CSBMs, which consisted of six measures presented in January 1984 at the Conference on Disarmament in Europe (CDE) in Stockholm, analyzing and evaluating that package in the context of U.S./NATO objectives for CSBMs. Finally, it identifies several potential options available to the West for the future development of CSBM packages within the CDE. The study includes a brief summary of the main elements in both the original NATO package and the concluding document (reproduced in an appendix) of the Stockholm conference."--Rand abstracts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConfidence-Building Measures (CBMs) - often seen as the fastest growing sector on the post-Cold War diplomatic agenda - are increasingly viewed by the international community as useful instruments for addressing a range of security and diplomatic issues. Rethinking Confidence-Building Measures warns against an uncritical pursuit of CBMs, arguing that the idea has been oversold. The author asserts that obstacles to meaningful agreements are much more important than usually acknowledged, and the political and military ramifications have been generally ignored. She concludes that the same effort, painstaking negotiation, and possibilities for failure are inherent in CBMs as in the wide array of other potential solutions for managing interstate security relations, but with far fewer substantial results.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe authors of this study argue that the current security situation in Europe resembles a glass that is either half-empty or half-full and show that, while the Vienna Document CSBM agreement has been surprisingly effective in the past, today it is faced with not only serious challenges but also great opportunities to improve in the future. The authors explore 13 research questions: 1. How do contextual factors in the existing security environment impact on the effectiveness of the Vienna Document's CSBMs? 2. To what extent are the main objectives of the agreement being met? 3. To what extent are the norms and rules being complied with? 4. How effective are the Vienna Document's CSBMs during military crises and conflicts? 5. How effective are the Vienna Document's CSBMs with regard to internal armed conflicts? 6. What should be done about non-compliance? 7. How are the benefits of cooperation distributed among the participating states? 8. How are CSBMs perceived from the power perspective of each participating state? 9. How cost effective is implementing the rules in the CSBM agreement? 10. What are the core strengths and weaknesses of the CSBM process, the ways to improve it in the future and the potential threats to the process? 11. What can we learn about this agreement's effectiveness during the current military crisis in Ukraine? 12. To what degree do the effectiveness and modernisation of the Vienna Document's CSBM process depend on the scenarios for European security in the future? 13. Is the 'cyberisation' of the Vienna Document's CSBMs required in the present security environment to maintain the agreement's effectiveness?
