englischThirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, America and Russia have again returned to conflict. But this renewed confrontation did not come out of the blue. Rather, it was preceded by a long period of stagnation and a final crisis in the realm of arms control. In particular, the agreements of cooperative arms control in Europe eroded after the turn of the millennium. Why did that neatly established network of security agreements collapse? In this volume, Ulrich Kühn traces the rise and fall of cooperative arms control in Europe from the early Helsinki days to the Russian annexation of the Crimea in 2014. Applying a multi-theory approach in order to assess the foreign and security policies of the United States and Russia, the author not only answers who is to blame for the sorry state of arms control, but he also uncovers a regime complex that has so far remained unknown and that spans across various organisations and institutions.

»Kühn’s book presents an illuminating case study of institutional decay, a process that is very often neglected by scholars of institutions. In addition, as the author notes, the integration of regime theory and IR norm-research into the study of arms control remains an unaddressed theoretical challenge. In this regard, Kühn’s work provides much food for thought and sets the tone for future research on the subject.«
