Publisher's Synopsis
This reader brings together both Soviet and US contributions to investigate the range of issues that the US and Soviet Union must face as the Cold War draws to a close. Within the context of a "debate" format that presents parallel US and Soviet perspectives, readings illustrate areas of co-operation and conflict and weigh policy similarities and differences. Topics covered include military and national security issues and the changing international economic environment as well as the impact that the evolving Soviet and US relationship is having on the "new" Europe, the Third World and the environment. The volume concludes with a look at the future of relations between the US and the Soviet Union. This book is designed to be of interest to scholars, policymakers and general readers grappling with the rapidly changing international environment.
