KEY   INFLUENCES ON NATO STATES' NATIONAL SECURITY
     NEGOTIATING BEHAVIOR                                                      7

     The late 1980s was probably the golden age of East-West security/arms control nego-
tiations. Treaty-producing talks, such as the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE)
negotiation between NATO  and  the Warsaw Pact, went right to the heart of issues of
national survival and stature. Partly due to this importance, the negotiating behavior of
individual West European states during this time was highly consistent and utilitarian.
Powerful influences stemming from geography, historical commitments, economic compe-
tition, domestic instability, and political vision cross-walked directly to predictable state
negotiating stances. Despite the murkiness of the nature of the New World Order, these and
other emerging influences or factors seem to still lend coherence to a modified self-help
framework for understanding national security interests and their negotiated pursuit.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE MILITARY: INDIVIDUALIZED AND
     ENVIRONMENTAL CONTEXTS                                                   25

     Using data from the 1988 DoD Survey of Sex Roles in the Active-Duty Military,
this research focuses on individual experience and understanding of sexual harassment in
the military work environment as well as impacts of organization context on this behavioral
arena. Our results indicate that there is a pervasive pattern of sexual harassment, especially
of women, that spans rank and work site contexts. Because the survey was conducted prior
to the extensive publicity associated with the Clarence Thomas hearings and the Tailhook
scandal, it is possible that respondents understated the extent of different types of harassment.
We   find that a general harassment environment is highly predictive of individualistic
harassment experiences of women  and men. We  conclude that controlling overt sexual
commentary  and public behavior is essential for producing a positive nonharassing work
situation.

MANAGING A MORAL DILEMMA: ISRAELI SOLDIERS IN THE INTIFADA 45

     The Palestinian uprising (intifada) in the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 has
