"The Race To Control Nuclear Arms"
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Foreign Affairs, issue 1, volume 55
By Paul Doty, Director Emeritus, Center for Science and International Affairs; Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus, Michael Nacht, Former Associate Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, 1973-1984 and Albert Carnesale, Member of the Board, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
In a 1976 article in Foreign Affairs, the Kennedy School's Albert Carnesale, Paul Doty and Michael Nacht argue that "As the nuclear age lengthens and the opportunity for viewing it in perspective grows, its essential features seem increasingly related to successive eight-year American presidential administrations. Measures to control nuclear weapons have been seriously considered in each of the first four postwar "octades," and there has been an acceleration in the number of agreements reached - most notably in limiting nuclear tests, slowing nuclear proliferation, restraining the quantitative growth of the Soviet and American nuclear arsenals, and restricting defenses against nuclear weapons."
