title: Debating the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons from Europe: What Germany expects from Russia
abstract: The recent debate in Germany about nuclear sharing confirmed the broad support among decision-makers for continued involvement in the political dimension of NATO’s sharing arrangements, i. e., participation in the Alliance’s nuclear consultative bodies.
