Emily O. Goldman is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Davis.
“Emily O. Goldman presents an interesting and stimulating
interpretation of the interwar naval conferences. . . . Goldman’s
effort is an important interpretive contribution that adds much to
the ever-growing debate on the Washington Conference.”—Journal of
American History
“Sunken Treaties makes an important contribution to the study of
arms control. Unlike many examinations of arms control that
narrowly focus on weaponry and their characteristics, this study
puts arms control within a broader international political
framework. Goldman analyzes a complex attempt at multilateral arms
control that sought to limit a variety of nonnuclear weapons
technologies. This perspective on arms control—multilateral and
nonnuclear—is of great importance for understanding better the
dynamics of the post–Cold War international security environment.
By providing a broader perspective, Sunken Treaties helps enhance
the theory of arms control, providing guidelines for evaluating
when it might be effective and when it is likely to fail.”—John H.
Maurer,U.S. Naval War College
