Abstract: In the 1980s European policies regarding the use and control of nuclear weapons will reflect two different developments. The first is the scope and duration of the current debate about nuclear deterrence and defense, which has dominated public discussion since NATO's decision to deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles. Less obvious is the second, the emerging agenda concerning the requirements and limits of British and French nuclear independence, the program of nuclear modernization, and the goals of arms control negotiation in Europe. Crucial to the outcomes will be the evolving views of new European leaders and the policy choices of the United States.
