- Described by Barry Posen as "a critical discussion of the possible tactical implications of the military reformers' prescriptions for ground warfare"[7] and regarded as important though not convincing by David P. Calleo,[8] it was referenced in the first years after its publication,[9] but its first detailed critique came from Joshua M. Epstein[10] and several others in the context of the replacement of combined arms with maneuver doctrine in the United States Armed Forces around 1989[11] and in the context of NATO's tactical future after the First Cold War.[12] It has seen occasional treatments in retrospective literature since that time.[13]

- Also published as a chapter of Conventional Deterrence in 1983. The context of the article was described in Matthews 1996,[14] as standing in opposition US president Ronald Reagan's strengthening of NATO forces in Europe, supported by Samuel P. Huntington[15] (who had initially reviewed Mearsheimer's article favourably)[16]: 28 and others.[17] Also relevant was the debate over whether or not the US nuclear weapons in West Germany were necessary.[18] Positively received by Posen and Evera 1983,[19]: 15 Brauch and Unterseher 1984,[20]: 195 Lübkemeier 1985,[21]: 250 Dean 1986[22] and to some extent Weinstein 1983,[23]: 22–23 and Strachan 1985[24] and Simpson 1985.[25]: 85 Its conclusions were opposed on methodological grounds by Jack Snyder[26] and with alternative models by William Kaufmann,[27] William Mako[28] and Andrew Hamilton.[29]: 125 With the exception of Corcoran 1983,[30]: 9–10 most concrete opposition did not come until three separate articles published in 1988 by Snyder,[31] by Joshua Epstein[10] and by Eliot A. Cohen,[32] building on an earlier review by Aaron Friedberg.[33] Although the reception that year was not entirely negative,[34][35]: 141 [36]: 92 most papers published in the immediate aftermath of these were critical.[37]: 535 [38] Employed favourably in some retrospective analyses.[39][40]: 3 That by Barry D. Watts, then director of the Northrop Grumman Analysis Center, relayed Cohen's criticisms.[41] The 2016 review by military Kenton White criticised it for not taking USSR and general WTO airborne capabilities[a] or their OMG concept, while following Cohen in arguing for an alternative view that the WTO might have been able to prepare a "standing start"[b] attack undetected enough for the resulting delay to allow for the WTO to potentially collapse part of the NATO front, which Mearsheimer had argued was not a danger.[44] White followed this up in more detail in 2017.[45] A less detailed critique was published by international relations professor Arash Heydarian Pashakhanlou.[46] The approach of Cohen and Kenton was in turn criticised in the overview of Tecott and Halterman, which defended Mearsheimer while warning about his "over-extrapolation" on the basis of a single scenario,[42] echoing Richard Stoll's 1990 defense of Mearsheimer's article to justify further model-based approaches.[47] But outside the context of the debate[48] and with the passage of time, the article began to see uncritical use,[49][50] especially with the successful urban defences of the Russo-Ukrainian War.[51][52]: 57 More widely read than his previous studies, it is this study along with his 1983 book that propelled him onto the academic scene as an "Optimist"[c] in their debate with the "Pessimists",[54] which has been termed the "Great Debate" in security circles,[55]: 20 in which moderate Pessimists held a majority.[56]: 38
The credibility of NATO's defences was analysed and discussed ... Many of the contemporary analyses looked at strategy or numbers, taking a wholesale approach, but failed to address the overall capability based on existing force structures. An example is the analysis given by Dr J Mearsheimer, which provides an example contemporary to the period. It provides a useful perspective on the difficulties inherent in assessing the credibility of defence policy from a purely academic standpoint.

- This article was published in response to criticisms of Mearsheimer's application of the 3:1 rule as expressed and used in Why the Soviets Can't Win Quickly in Central Europe. One of its chief critics, Jeffrey Epstein, published a rebuttal that year.[57] A detailed mathematical evaluation of the 3:1 rule, which Mearsheimer first examined in 1982, would not come until Kress and Talmor 1999.[58]

- The article's thesis turned out to be incorrect, but the article itself was retrospectively praised for its testable framing by Junio and Mahnken 2013.[59]
Mearsheimer's article provides an excellent example of scenario analysis being used to extend an existing theory and develop testable hypotheses that were subsequently falsified. Various reasons may explain why his theory was incorrect—such as normative claims, continued reliance on US security guarantees, and so on—but it is at least clear that his scenario-based approach framed a debate in a rigorous and clearly articulated way and has led to new areas of exploration for the discipline.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Tecott and Halterman defended Mearsheimer's omission. "He omits airpower variables from his model not because he thinks these variables are irrelevant to the outcome, but because he argues that airpower would favor NATO, only strengthening his argument."[42]
- ^ A possibility publicised by senators Sam Nunn and Dewey F. Bartlett in a 1977 report.[43]
- ^ Optimistic from a NATO perspective, regarding its ability to defend in the European theatre. Not to be confused with the "Peace movement".[53]: 147

On the one hand, the publication years in which Mearsheimer derived his fundamental theory of International Relations can be inferred. On the other hand, later years show his subsequent thematic focuses and his preoccupation with current events and conflicts.
