Forging New Ways to Manage Conflict in the Post-Cold War World An Interview with Richard Solomon UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND's PROGRAM ON DISARMAMENT In 1998, the University of Maryland Department of Government and Politics established a new Program on General Disarmament, under the leadership of Dr. Gar Alperovitz and Dr. Natalie J. Goldring, to increase understanding of general disarmament. This program incorporates analysis, research, training, public education and international networking. Its central premise is that it is time to place the subject of general and complete disarmament back on the national and international intellectual and policy agenda. Arms races tend to exacerbate tensions. However, negotiated, verified reductions encourage cooperation and mutual trust, as we have seen in Europe over the past decade and a half. In the longer term, potential benefits of general disarmament include decreasing the likelihood of war and international conflict. |
