What are ballistic missiles and are they just nukes?

Ballistic Missiles can have conventional or nuclear warheads. Iraq's Scud missiles during the Gulf War is a good example of a cheap conventional BM. Ballistic Missiles are launched from a land or sea based launcher into a sub-orbital trajectory towards its intended target. Many nuclear BM's are MIRV'ed - Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles, or multiple warheads. As the warhead descends from its apex, the MIRV's are separated and head for their independent targets. This can be done with conventional weapons as well. A lot of development into ABM weapons has had a lot of success - Boeing recently tested its Airborne Laser system, which uses a tracking, targeting and destruction laser to kill BM's in its boost phase where it's most vulnerable, though it can conceivably nail warheads as well (Google it and you can watch the video). It uses radar tracking from land, sea and orbital sources to track targets, and is mounted on a 747. The Air Force also has successfully tested an ABM interception missile.

What followed the arm race?

What makes you think it's over? Look at Sukhoi SU-47, F-22 Raptor, Zumwalt class destroyer, Virginia-class submarine, armed Predator drones, anti-satellite weapons tests, 30,000 pound bunker-buster bombs, all in the last 10 years. What has changed is that now our biggest competitor is changing from Russia or the former Soviet Union to China, whose military expenditures are skyrocketing. They recently launched their first aircraft carrier, a 60,000 ton rebuild of an unfinished former Soviet aircraft carrier, and are building two more like it. They have a long range land attack cruise missile and a new ballistic anti-ship missile which worries US military planners. They have successfully tested anti-satellite weapons, and have nuclear powered ballistic missile and attack submarines. They have an estimated 400 nuclear warheads at present. They are building their own 3rd generation of jet fighters, such as the Shenyang J-11 and Shenyang J-15, based on Russian designs like the SU-27 and SU-33, which have been displayed at airshows and have performance comparable to the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, or Dassault Rafale. And let's not forget the size of their armed forces, by far the largest in the world at about 2.8 million active duty personnel.
