Abstract

As the problems and ideas of arms control and disarmament have gained substantial momentum in recent years, the need has developed to look into the refinements of disarmament questions within the framework of national security. Here we have sought to initiate the development of a framework within which one could examine various disarmament questions. Our purpose is to stimulate some operations-research thinking in this area. The model emphasizes the importance of finding criteria for evaluating weapons for disarmament purposes and for establishing rules of disarmament compatible with the broad objectives of the future allowing for possibly different power configurations and new conflicts. The problem of resolving conflicts is another essential area of disarmament briefly touched on here.
