		The arms race, however, goes beyond Beijing's annual addition of 50-75 short- and medium-range missiles on its south coast opposite the "renegade" island to encompass its general qualitative and quantitative military buildup - and Taiwan's own response to acquire more advanced weapons systems.
		This international arms race, encouraged by Moscow and by Washington, each in pursuit of their own perceived vital interests, could soon get out of control and expand to include not only conventional weapons but also space-based systems and nuclear missiles, if not defenses against those missiles.
		This arms race, focused on the Taiwan Strait in the short term, will create regional ripples, if not waves, and it is the last thing Asia needs now, in the near future, or ever.

		Second, arms races also escalate disputes to war, again countering deterrence theory, but most of the dispute escalation to war occurs in the dyads surrounding the world wars.
		I am also working on a second arms race paper that provides an explanation for the temporal differences we found in the first paper -- namely, the Cold War arms race cases did not use the traditional means of battleship building, compulsory military service, and budget outlays to compete.
		I identify the non-traditional arms race cases and show that most led to civil war, assassinations, and rebellion rather than interstate war, thus demonstrating that arms races are not peaceful, even during this period.

	Myths About Missile Defense and the Arms Race
		Advocates of arms control often contend that America should not deploy a national missile defense (NMD) system because it will inevitably end in a strategic nuclear arms race, a competitive cycle of offensive and defensive missile deployments that will drive the overall level of nuclear armaments ever higher.
		Nevertheless, arms control advocacy groups today are trying to recycle the old argument that building a national missile defense system will set off an "offensive-defensive arms race." They assert that Russia, China, and even Third World countries will expand and modernize their strategic offensive forces to overcome a U.S. missile defense system.
		They fear the initiation of an defensive arms buildup, which would force the United States to retain a relatively large number of offensive strategic nuclear weapons to overcome reactions to its deployment of a national missile defense system, at least in the longer term.

		Thus, thanks to the nuclear arms race, the United States' military position in the mid-1980s had declined from clear superiority to equality, and from virtual invincibility to troubling vulnerability.
		We may note in passing that the environmental costs of the arms race would have been much higher had the public in the West given the military establishment the freedom to do as it liked to the biosphere and to public health.
		It may be that the arms race contributed to America's move during the past two decades towards a government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.

		Briefly, an arms race is unstable if there is reason to think that surging ahead of a competitor in a quantitative buildup, or making a more aggressive pursuit of next-generation technology in a qualitative arms race, can yield a significant advantage.

		Nervous supporters of the deal see the report, which says that Pakistan is capable of using the reactor to produce enough plutonium to make 40 to 50 nuclear weapons a year, as the "final attempt by the US nuclear non-proliferation lobby" to raise paranoia over the prospect of a nuclear arms race in South Asia.
		They argue that the Isis report is aimed at influencing US lawmakers to insist upon tightening certain provisions in the bill, or even the introduction of amendments which may jeopardise its approval all together.
		So this is a week that began with the release of a report raising the frightening possibility of a nuclear arms build-up in South Asia.

	CIA warns of new nuclear arms race - theage.com.au
		The world is being confronted by a new nuclear arms race that threatens to dismantle more than three decades of non-proliferation efforts, CIA director George Tenet has warned.
		The testimony also pointed to concerns about the enforcement abilities of UN arms control agencies, including the International Atomic Energy Agency, which are supposed to prevent the spread of nuclear technologies.
		Mr Tenet traced the breakdown of the global nonproliferation system not to existing nuclear powers but to what he called "non-state purveyors", meaning private firms or in some cases rogue individuals in Europe and elsewhere who are selling "technology and equipment that previously could only be supplied by countries with established (nuclear) capabilities".

	The Arms Race in Southeast Asia
		This model cannot be applied to arms proliferation in Southeast Asia because there is no country in the region that is specifically engaged in such an arms race with another.
		The increase in arms imports by Thailand was likely a response to Vietnamese intervention in Kampuchea and the consequent Thai position as a frontline state in the conflict.
		Although a typical arms race model with two adversarial actors rushing to procure the latest and the best in armaments cannot be applied directly in the case of Southeast Asia, the arms acquisition strategies used by states in the region have been interactive.

	Kroc Institute : Policy Brief #2 : Preventing a Nuclear Arms Race in South Asia: U.S. Policy Options
		Since a nuclear arms race between India and Pakistan will further destabilize a violent and conflict-prone region, there is a pressing need for the U.S. to dissuade India and Pakistan from deploying nuclear weapons and to reverse their nuclear course.
		Beyond the immediate threats posed by such an arms race to the one-fifth of humanity which resides within South Asia, nuclear weapons deployment in India and Pakistan would also have a far-reaching impact on the nuclear dynamics in the region and beyond, threatening vital U.S. national security interests.
		To prevent India and Pakistan from embarking on a nuclear arms race, it is indeed important to examine the previous shortcomings of U.S. nonproliferation policy in South Asia and to identify alternative policy options.

		As we review (and speculate) about the evolutionary arms race between the trilobite and its predators, keep in mind that evolution does not creatively design the body parts of an organism; all that evolution can do is tinker with existing genetic sequences by amplifying those within a population that favor survival.

		More than ever it is urgent now to slow down and ultimately to stop the nuclear arms race, thus improving the stability of the nuclear stand off and setting the stage for reduction of the great inventories of weapons.
		Several attempts have been made to bring the nuclear arms race under control but none has been successful in the face of the pressures that drive the competition.
