The author explores how threat-perception influences decision-making and public opinion, exacerbating tensions. He evaluates three approaches to reduce tensions: cultural exchanges, diplomacy and disarmament, and moreover, he proposes a nuanced understanding of threat-perception and its relation to military capability and intent. Finally, he calls for a new approach combining four disarmament alternatives and emphasizes the need for a change in attitude to avoid a nuclear catastrophe. We can consider this one of the early antecedents of the Steps to War argument on the role of the \u201cif you want war, prepare for peace\u201d maxim in fostering conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: J.
