Coordinated Security Management - Towards a 'New Framework'

In: Survival: global politics and strategy, Band 43, Heft 3, S. 86-90

Abstract

In part of a colloquium titled "A Consensus on Missile Defence?" the author explores coordinated security management, which would provide reassurance & predictability while addressing Russia's wish to be treated as a great power. Coordinated security management combines agreed understandings, information exchanges, confidence building & other cooperative & complementary measures, joint military planning, & high-level consultations. Initially, this would involve the US & Russia with other countries joining at a later date. Further, it could even help manage the US-People's Republic of China situation regarding US deployment of limited missile defenses. The potential for cooperative security management depends on the envisioned long-term political relationship between Russia, China & the US. Adapted from the source document.
