      "title": "Missile Defense, Arms Control, and Deterrence: A New Strategic Framework",
      "summary": "The Bush Administration has argued that a \"new strategic framework\" should shape the U.S.\nrelationship with Russia. The Administration states that the United States no longer faces the threat\nof global nuclear war, and must instead respond to emerging threats. In this environment, it argues,\nthe United States must rely on both offensive and defensive weapons to deter and repel attacks. The\nAdministration maintains that Russia is no longer an enemy, so the United States and Russia need\nnot rely on formal arms control agreements to manage the nuclear balance. Each can reduce its forces\nunilaterally and alter its forces according to its own needs. Most critics doubt that the United States\nand Russia can manage their relationship without formal arms control. They also argue that the\nAdministration's plans for missile defense could undermine the U.S. relationship with Russia and\nupset international stability.",
