Naval arms control has become increasingly prominent in recent years, but is usually studied from the perspective of Soviet-American relations. This book examines the subject from a European perspective.

`All the contributions are interesting and valuable ... This volume, which also contains some well-balanced historical perspectives and much information on naval policies, should be read by all who are seriously interested in this subject.' International Affairs 'The volume provides a most useful overview of the debate in its sections on the Norwegian Sea and the Baltic, with contributions from experts in some key littoral states as well as the US and USSR.' David C. Scrivener, Keele University, Political Studies (1994) XLII `The volume provides a most useful overview of the debate in its sections on the Norwegian Sea and the Baltic, with contributions from experts in some key littoral states as well as the US and USSR.' Political Studies `It very effectively encapsulates the core issues of naval arms control. It is interestingly written, hangs together well, is as well produced as OUP/SIPRI books usually are and at £32.50 for 341 pages represents very good value for money. A competent, professional piece of work on the part of all concerned that deserves to become a definitive text on the subject. Highly recommended.' Arms Control
