THE DEATH OF DETENTE?
In: International security, Band 5, Heft 1, S. 3-25
ISSN: 0162-2889
AUTHOR EXAMINES DETENTE, QUESTIONING WHETHER THE USSR SAW IT AS A DECEPTIVE STRATEGY TO SEDUCE THE WEST INTO COMPLACENCY; WHETHER IT WAS A WILLING SELF-DECEPTION ON THE PART OF THE US; OR PERHAPS WHETHER SOME REAL ELEMENT OF COOPERATION AND CONSTRAINT WAS INVOLVED. THE ARTICLE TRACES THE STRATEGY FROM ITS BEGINNINGS IN THE EARLY 70'S; EXAMINES US ACTIONS THAT DISTURBED THE SOVIETS; AND LOOKS AT FUTURE.
