IISS Adelphi Papers #326 'The US and Nuclear Deterrence in Europe' (1999)
 
This authoritative series of books on issues of international security is the Institute's principal contribution to policy-relevant, original academic research.
 
The US has maintained nuclear forces in Europe in support of its security commitments to NATO since the early 1950s, although the number of weapons has been greatly reduced since the late 1980s. This paper examines why the Allies continue to regard US nuclear forces and commitments as essential elements of NATO's security posture, even in the profoundly changed post-Cold War international context.
