Inhalt: Few problems of national security have remained as critical in the post-Cold War era as those raised by the command and control of nuclear weapons. Should nuclear arsenals be overseen by civilians rather than military experts? How can effective civilian control be ensured? In this lucid and penetrating book, Peter Douglas Feaver tells the story of U.S. nuclear custody policy from 1945 to the present and offers a new framework for approaching the issue of nuclear command and control. Feaver first examines the fundamental constraints and dilemmas inherent in the operation of nuclear command and control. He provides an overview of civilian control of each component of nuclear operation, with reference to three major factors: the president, who has the legal authority to order the use of nuclear weapons; key military officers who are authorized to detonate weapons without the president's permission; and lower-level officers who have physical control of the weapons. Feaver next offers a model identifying factors that explain changes in civilian control policy over time. Drawing on extensive interviews and recently declassified government documents, he then provides a rich historical account of nuclear weapons custody, paying particular attention to the Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy administrations. Guarding the Guardians will be an essential resource for political scientists, policy-makers, security affairs specialists, historians, and anyone concerned with addressing the hazards created by nuclear arms.

Serie: BCSIA studies in international security

Inhalt: Nach Ansicht militärischer und politischer Sachverständiger entsteht in den USA eine sich ständig vergrößernde Kluft in den zivil-militärischen Beziehungen, deren Merkmale hier erörtert werden. Die zunehmende Professionalisierung des militärischen Bereichs hat zu ernsthaften Verständigungsschwierigkeiten zwischen zivilen und militärischen Institutionen geführt, welche die Effektivität der Streitkräfte ernsthaft beeinflussen und damit die nationale Sicherheit gefährden können. Das Ausmaß und die Folgen dieses Auseinanderdriftens werden aus verschiedenen Perspektiven aufgezeigt und diskutiert; zugleich wird untersucht, wie dieser Entwicklung begegnet werden kann, um die Streitkräfte auch weiterhin in die Lage zu versetzen, ihre Aufgaben der Wahrung der nationalen Sicherheit der USA zu erfüllen.

Serie: Bridging the gap

Inhalt: Peter D. Feaver shows that the public's high confidence in the military is based partly on deservedness and partly based on an underlying partisan gap and social desirability bias: extremely high confidence levels among self-identified Republican respondents but much less among Democrats and still weaker confidence among Independents. Not only does Feaver helps us understand how and why the public has confidence in the military, but he also exposes problems that policymakers need to be aware of. Specifically, he elucidates how confidence or over-confidence in the institution shapes public attitudes on the use of force and may not support the best practices in democratic civil-military relations.
