It is conventional wisdom in the West that nucle ar weapons kept the peace during 40 years of Cold War. It is also widely believed that in adopting a policy of nuclear deterrence, we suff ered no harm. Neither claim is supported by the evidence, and the second belief is dangerous ly wrong. To dispose of these beliefs we need to understand the genesis and evolution of the underlying theories that had such a profound infl uence on the nuclear arms race and US policies towards the Soviet Union. With that as background, I outline the damaging eff ects that deterrence dogma had on western interests and world politics; consider whether those eff ects were peculiar to the prevailing circumstances or are inherent to the concept; and address the question of ‘sta ble deterrence’. Lastly, I dis mantle the claim that nuclear weapons kept the peace; and review the place of deterrence-based poli cies in the future.

Since the late 1960s, the political aspect of planned organizational change has received considerable attention. But despite the increasing acceptance of the fact that organizational change is inextricably linked with organizational politics, organization development (OD) professionals have continued to be cautious in grappling with the political realities involved in the implementation of planned organizational change. This article conceptualizes planned organizational change as a continuum of relationships with three degrees or levels of change. A sequential approach to the political involvement of OD professionals has been developed and an analytical framework has been presented that calls for matching degrees of political involvement to the level of change desired.
