An important aspect of this is raising awareness of the current crisis in nuclear arms control. Such international, inter-agency and cross-cultural dialogue provides an opportunity for maintaining the wide-ranging dialogue required for strengthening arms control arrangements - and for establishing new ones with clearly defined and measurable scopes and verification systems Notes "Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Priorities in Nuclear Arms Control and Non-Proliferation: Comparing and Tuning Approaches of Russia and the West, Moscow, Russia, 25-28 April 2007"--Title page verso Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Nuclear arms control -- Russia (Federation) -- Congresses Nuclear arms control -- Western countries -- Congresses POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Government -- International.
