Abstract
Strategy and Disarmament : the Chances of a Cooperative Security Policy, by Jean Klein Since the end of the First World War disarmament has entered the diplomatie arena and has been a subject of constant debate for the great powers. However, the failure of collective security under the auspices of the League of Nations and the East-West antagonism caused by the great rift that followed the Second World War set narrow limits to this undertaking. Although the mastery of wea-pons made it possible to stabilize the balance on which reciprocal deterrence between the two nuclear powers was based, disarmament proper began only towards the end of the 1980s. With the disappearance of the bipolar order and the emergence of a new security System in Europe and the world, disarmament is set to become a major component of a peace policy based on sufficiency of resources and transparency of military activities.
