With the end of an era, change in a troubled Soviet Union seems inescapable; but in what direction will it go and what are its implications for Western policy?

Through interviews, workshops, and structured analysis on the causes of potential conflict, the authors of this report outline new conventional arms control (CAC) measures to lower the risk of conflict in Europe. The existing CAC regime is outdated and largely irrelevant to today’s security environment. The authors provide a menu of options for a new CAC regime that could address the regional security challenges of the 21st century.
