"The idea of a Nordic nuclear-weapons-free zone has been around for almost 30 years, yet proposals to establish such a zone have made no headway. The Nordic nations are aware that recently their region has grown in military and strategic importance to NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and traditional Nordic concerns for preserving the low tension and stability of the area have led the Scandinavian countries to search for new ways to protect and enhance this special security condition. This paper explores the motivations, rationales, and support behind the initiatives for a nuclear-weapons-free zone in the region and the problems that may be countered in realizing such a zone."--Rand abstracts.

In the early 1980s there had been an upsurge of public concern over the nuclear threat to Europe. Already saturated with nuclear weapons, Europe faced controversial new deployments and there was alarm over military strategies for nuclear war in the region. It is in this context that the idea of nuclear weapon-free zones had captured the popular imagination and became a political issue in Europe. Not only would such zones build confidence and raise the nuclear threshold, but they would be first steps towards a more comprehensive elimination of nuclear weapons. Originally published in 1983 Nuclear Disengagement in Europe probes the question of nuclear weapon-free zones in the region. Pugwash and SIPRI arranged a meeting at which an international team of lawyers, scientists, politicians and military experts gave background information and provided an appraisal of problems regarding the zone initiatives as well as benefits that would accrue. Possible elements in a European zone arrangement were elaborated on and procedures towards the establishment of such a zone were suggested.
