内容説明

In the post-Reagan era of what may come to be known as the age of Gorbachev, is "containment" the correct answer to East-West dilemmas? Are arms control, nuclear freeze or Star Wars the sole or the best paths away away from a debilitating conflict? It is to these questions that the author provides a reasoned negative answer, in a multi-faceted discussion that delves deeply into history while ranging widely in search of lessons and guidelines. In this book, a distinguished international relations scholar argues that the foreign policy of the USA and the USSR must be reconstructed to challenge some of the basic assumptions blocking progress in a vital political issue of the age. He demonstrates how we live in an era of opportunity for real improvement in East-West relations if only both sides acknowledge that they are in many ways similar in schematic and dynamic terms.
