| Title | The ABM security regime: a wooly concept or the guardian of stability? |
| Summary | This research paper analyses gradual abandonment of the ABM security framework by the United States. It is based on a conceptualizion of the ABM framework as a security regime according to Keohane’s propositions about international regimes. It conceives of American attempt to build an operational Ballistic Missile Defense that would include Europe as hegemonic aspiration and applies the theory of hegemonic stability to the case of the BMD development. By providing empirical evidence about the development of the BMD and the Russian reactions, it shows that there is a strong resemblance between the way regimes are established in the hegemonic stability theory and recent American undertaking in regard to the BMD system. |
