Abstract

[I start the empirical part of this book with the case of anti-ballistic missile arms control in the 1960s/1970s. In contrast to the nonregime in the case of space weapons, we can observe the emergence of an international regime of preventive arms control here. I start this chapter with a brief introduction to the technical background of anti-ballistic missiles and describe the ABM programs and policies of the Soviet Union and the United States before the ABM Treaty of 1972. Then, I give an overview of the ABM arms control regime as it was established by the provisions of the ABM Treaty. I conclude the chapter with an analysis of the process of regime-building by applying the theoretical considerations to the case.]
