Panel 2: International Environment and Arms Control, Disarmament, and Nonproliferation

Robert Gromoll

This paper identifies factors that influence arms control, disarmament, and nonproliferation trends. It also analyzes the prospects for international cooperation. A series of factors, including international security, technology, economics, threats and domestic politics affects our ability to achieve desirable and realistic objectives. These factors impel us to find a way to think how to conduct arms control in the future. While bilateral strategic arms control is waning, we need to begin seeking a way to promote progress in the P-5 context.

Robert Gromoll is the Director of the Office of Strategic Transition, Bureau of Arms Control, US Department of State
