Confidence building as an approach to international security management has traditionally focused on developing agreements featuring well-known confidence building measures, as opposed to the activity of confidence building itself. This report begins with a critical review of traditional confidence building ideas which highlights some problems that continue to undermine conventional treatments of confidence building. It then discusses in some detail the essential elements that comprise the transformation view of confidence building. That view shifts attention away from operational measures towards the processes associated with their development and application. According to that view, confidence building is a distinct activity undertaken by policy makers with the minimum intention of improving some aspects of a traditionally antagonistic security relationship through security policy co-ordination and co-operation. It requires interaction among officials and experts from participating states when conditions are supportive of change.

Richard Baxter lived in an age when many of his fellow pastors had grown too comfortable with performing their religious duties by rote and spending much of their time in gluttony and drunkenness. It was under these conditions that Baxter wrote The reformed pastor, a reprimand to indolent clergy and an appeal to ministers of the gospel to take heed of their own spiritual condition before attempting to shepherd others.
