Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) – often seen as the fastest growing sector on the post-Cold War diplomatic agenda – are increasingly viewed by the international community as useful instruments for addressing a range of security and diplomatic issues.
Rethinking Confidence-Building Measures warns against an uncritical pursuit of CBMs, arguing that the idea has been oversold. The author asserts that obstacles to meaningful agreements are much more important than usually acknowledged, and the political and military ramifications have been generally ignored. She concludes that the same effort, painstaking negotiation, and possibilities for failure are inherent in CBMs as in the wide array of other potential solutions for managing interstate security relations, but with far fewer substantial results.
