Abstract: In his response to Michael Wallace’s article, Erich Weede expresses his skepticism about whether arms races are dangerous to peace and even questions their suitability as early warning indicators of war. In his mind, it is the breakdown of deterrence that poses a threat for peace. Part of the Wallace- Diehl debate on the quantitative study of arms races.
