Russian–American Nuclear Nonproliferation Dialogue

Abstract

This chapter provides a review of the most fruitful periods of U.S.–Soviet/Russian cooperation in the area of nuclear disarmament. The 2000 NPT Review Conference allowed the adoption of the 13 practical steps towards nuclear disarmament. What the author calls the ‘Prague Speech’ period (2009–2016) was characterized by the leaders’ abolitionist agenda, as well as by important compromises between Russia and the United States. The current period is marked by a return of great power competition, causing substantial damage to U.S.–Russia disarmament dialogue. Vladislav Chernavskikh concludes that arms control depends on both strategic and political factors, relies on direct U.S.–Russia engagement, and requires flexibility in negotiations, as well as good personal relationships.
