Description
In the mid-1980s the United States and the Soviet Union inaugurated a period of detente, which eventually led to substantial disarmament and a considerable lessening of tension in Europe. In this book, 12 authors discuss the extent to which this has been mirrored in Asia, considering the relations between the superpowers and the continent, particularly China, as well as the situation between and within Asian states themselves. They devote special attention to those countries whose recent history has been the locus for superpower rivalry. The conclusion emerges that there has been a genuine detente between the Soviet Union and China, in consequence of Mr Gorbachev's acceptance of the Chinese conditions. The general concord between the two superpowers, however, appears not to have significantly reduced antagonism between the two Koreas, or the warring factions in Afghanistan or Cambodia, or China and Vietnam, China and India, or India and Pakistan.
