Nonoffensive Defense - Unidir United Nations Institute For Disa

This book, first published in 1990, examines the theories on 'nonoffensive' or 'nonprovocative' defence that arose at the end of the Cold War. The debate around the theories is analysed here, including the claims that nonoffensive defence would lead to conventional stability, security at lower levels of armaments, and reduce suspicion leading to peace and stability.
