    Content: In 1974 Richard Nixon's defense secretary, James Schlesinger, announced that the United States would change its nuclear targeting policy from "assured destruction" to "limited nuclear options." In the first account of the Schlesinger Doctrine to be based on newly declassified documents and extensive interviews with key actors, Terry Terriff challenges the Nixon administration's official explanation of why and how this policy innovation occurred. According to Terriff, Schlesinger himself argued that "assured destruction," which called for a massive retaliatory nuclear attack to destroy the Soviet Union, could lead to a devastating counterstrike against U.S. cities. The new strategy added a range of limited nuclear options in order to reduce the potential for counterattacks against non-military targets. Schlesinger also stressed that the policy change was necessary because, with the Soviets' achievement of nuclear parity, the American nuclear defense of Western Europe was no longer a credible deterrent. Terriff concludes that the new targeting policy was influenced by strategic concerns other than those Schlesinger publicly expressed and that it was further shaped by political, budgetary, and technological considerations. The author examines why policymakers believed that targeting practices needed to be revised, what they sought to achieve, and how they went about devising the new policy.

    Content: Die atomare Abschreckung wird als das Kernstück der amerikanischen nationalen Sicherheitspolitik in den Jahrzehnten des Kalten Krieges bezeichnet. Die verschiedenen strategischen Konzeptionen, mit denen dieses Ziel erreicht werden sollte, werden mit ihren grundsätzlichen Überlegungen angeführt und erläutert. Die Darstellung beginnt mit der Neukonzipierung der US-Nuklearstrategie in den frühen siebziger Jahren. Die Schlesinger-Doktrin und die Ausweitung zur Konzeption der Massiven Vergeltung werden beschrieben, ebenso das dazu führende strategische Gleichgewicht zwischen den beiden Supermächten. Die beiderseitige Unzufriedenheit mit einer Strategie der wechselseitigen absoluten Zerstörung führte zu einer Weiterentwicklung der strategischen Konzeptionen, die ihren einstweiligen Niederschlag in der Theorie der abgestuften Vergeltung fanden. Die Einflüsse und die Faktoren, welche die Entwicklung der neuen amerikanischen Nuklearstrategie bestimmten, werden erläutert. Die Entwicklungsstufen der US-Nuklearstrategie werden im Zusammenhang mit den amerikanischen Bündnisverpflichtungen in der NATO dargestellt und bewertet. In einem Anhang wird das National Security Decision Memorandum 242 von 19740117 (NSDM-242) im Volltext wiedergegeben.
