The recent developments in negotiations to reduce nuclear
weapons in Europe mark a watershed in attitudes towards
nuclear deterrence and security. On the one side lie all
the old beliefs and assumptions about nuclear defence and
security that have been common parlance for the last forty
years and more. On the other side lies a unique
opportunity to develop a new relationship of increased
mutual trust between East and West that could ultimately
lead to substantial reductions in the world's nuclear
arsenal.
The object of this thesis is to establish how much
information already exists about attitudes towards nuclear
deterrence and the processes of attitude change. From
there, to extend these boundaries of knowledge in the
belief that if we are able to understand more exactly what
people think about nuclear deterrence, why they hold these
attitudes and how attitudes change then we will be in a
better position to ease the transitional stage between one
set of attitudes and another. / Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust
