Abstract:
My doctoral project investigates the impact of Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative on transatlantic relations during the period 1983-86. The dissertation focuses on the three main European powers, namely Britain, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany, and examines their reaction to SDI both individually and comparatively. The study exploits SDI’s position at the intersection of nuclear strategy, political ideology, Cold War diplomacy, and industrial politics to offer a multifaceted, multi-national, and primary source-based analysis of US-European relations during the Reagan Pres

Abstract:
This study assesses the U.S. bargaining chip approach in strategic arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union. The study's theoretical framework is based upon several concepts inherent in the theory of compellence as conceptualized by Schelling (1966) and Craig and George (1983). Furthermore, several key elements of domestic politics are incorporated into the framework to add richness to this traditional conception of inter-state bargaining. The empirical validity of the hypotheses rests on the findings generated by four case studies, including the use of the Strategic Defense Initiative

Abstract:
<p>Survivability and reliability have become important factors in the design of a mission effective Strategic Defense System (SDS) that protects the United States against a ballistic missile attack by the Soviet Union. The SDS must be reliable and responsive in providing this defense. It must also be survivable to counter the Soviet tactics of negating the defense. To ensure an effective, responsive and affordable system, survivability and reliability features must be incorporated in the earliest phases of conceptual design and must be maintained throughout the SDS life cycle.</p> <p>

Abstract:
The stated objective of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) introduces needs for space-based electric power ranging up to hundreds of megawatts (MWe). The SDI Organization is calling for the development of new and innovative concepts to meet these needs. Options for multi-megawatt and multi-hundred megawatt space power generating systems are presented in this paper. These options are based upon the gas turbine, one of the most mature and time-proven technologies available. Size- and mass-reduction studies utilizing innovative designs and new materials are conducted for the gas turbine. Two
