De-Escalation and Arms Control

De-escalation and arms control refer to strategies aimed at reducing the risk of nuclear conflict and limiting the number of nuclear weapons. In the context of the Atomic Age, de-escalation involves measures to lower tensions between nations, such as diplomatic negotiations, backchannel communications, and crisis management. Arms control includes treaties and agreements that set limits on the production and deployment of nuclear weapons to prevent an arms race. Together, these efforts promote stability, build trust among countries, and reduce the likelihood of a catastrophic nuclear war.
