Contains material on the impact of defenses on offensive reduction regimes, noncentral systems, and alliance issues. No more important issue faces us today than the future success of efforts to manage and control nuclear arsenals. Reykjavik and Beyond represents the careful consideration of this subject by a group of experts deeply involved in arms control. The authors consider what changes in force structures, strategic thought, and political relations would be necessary to make possible large reductions in the superpowers' nuclear arsenals. They also examine how very deep cuts would affect other aspects of the military balance and the political and international order more broadly. Among the contributors are Wolfgang K. H. Panofsky, John D. Steinbruner, Spurgeon M. Kenny, Jr. and Paul Doty. Wolfgang Kurt Hermann "Pief" Panofsky (April 24, 1919 September 24, 2007), was a German-American physicist who won many awards including the National Medal of Science. Between 1961 and 1984, he was the director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and continued to serve as director emeritus until his death. He was also on the board of directors of the Arms Control Association from 1996 until 1999. Panofsky was a member of the board of sponsors of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and won the Matteucci Medal in 1996 for his fundamental contributions to physics. He was also a recipient of the National Medal of Science, the Franklin Medal (1970), the Ernest O. Lawrence Medal, the Leo Szilard Award and the Enrico Fermi Award. John David Steinbruner (19412015) was an international security scholar. Steinbruner was a political science professor at both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University, and he also taught public policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Later, he joined the Brookings Institution, where he led the foreign policy studies program from 1978 to 1996. In his book The Cybernetic Theory of Decision he explores how policymakers navigate the significant uncertainty and core value conflicts in bureaucratic politics. Spurgeon M. Keeny Jr., an arms control expert who held top positions at the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency during the Cold War and later ran an influential Washington think tank that advises policymakers on nuclear proliferation. Mr. Keeny was a prominent scholar in his field at a time when the U.S.-Soviet arms race was one of the most important national concerns. He was known as a meticulous strategist with a pragmatic worldview: that the nuclear threat was best managed through the incremental drawdown of arms. Paul Mead Doty (June 1, 1920 December 5, 2011) was Mallinckrodt Professor of Biochemistry at Harvard University, specializing in the physical properties of macromolecules and strongly involved in peace and security policy issues. As a graduate student, he worked on the Manhattan Project, which led to his lifelong involvement in activities aiming to avert nuclear war. He was a special assistant to the president for national security and member of the President's Science and Arms Control Advisory Committees and in 1973 was a founder and director emeritus of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard. He was a member of the board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. He was involved for many years in the Pugwash Conferences.
