Description
This book presents a detailed assessment of the conditions for security relations between Washington and Moscow in the post-cold war era, focusing on the scope for future co-operative management of common security. Three main areas provide the context for a thematically and theoretically varied discussion: the security and foreign policy implications of the transition from the Soviet to a Russian/Commonwealth regime; military power and international stability after the cold war; and the political, military, and technological requirements for a new security relationship.
Reviews / Votes
'Immensely valuable'John Baylis, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, International Affiars, Vol. 70, No. 1, January 1994 `useful in providing a wealth of information about aspects of security ... valuable for their intelligent treatment of issues and problems which are likely to be relevant for many years to come ... contains a great deal which is informative and thought-provoking'
Intelligence and National Security `the issues raised remain pertinent to the debate. It is an important book, in its outline of the possible grounds which exist for security cooperation, its recognition that these should not be ignored, and in its recognition that for the forseeable future there are nevertheless clear limitations to what can be achieved'
