Britain in the Last DecAnnotationThe 1980s was a period of almost unprecedented rivalry and tension between the two main actors in the East-West conflict, the United States and the Soviet Union. Why and how that conflict first escalated and thereafter, in an amazingly swift process, was reversed and brought to its peaceful conclusion at the end of the decade is the topic of this volume. With individual contributions by eighteen well-known scholars of international relations and history from various countries, the book addresses the role of the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the countries of western and eastern Europe in that remarkable last decade of the Cold War, and discusses how particular events as well as underlying political, ideological, social, and economic factors may have contributed to the remarkable transformation that took place.Cass series--Cold War history ;5.World politics1975-1985CongressesPerestroĭkaCongressesSoviet UnionPolitics and government1985-1991CongressesUnited StatesForeign relationsSoviet UnionCongressesSoviet UnionForeign relationsUnited StatesCongressesSoviet UnionEconomic policy1986-1991CongressesEurope, EasternPolitics and government1945-1989CongressesWorld politicsPerestroĭka909.82/8Njolstad Olavedt518455Nobel SymposiumOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910784451503321The Last Decade of the Cold War3766858UNINA05007nam 22007455 450 991092044710332120241230115248.09789819760992981976099210.1007/978-981-97-6099-2(MiAaPQ)EBC31867317(Au-PeEL)EBL31867317(CKB)37111018500041(DE-He213)978-981-97-6099-2(OCoLC)1482817600(EXLCZ)993711101850004120241230d2024 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvances in Shock Interactions Proceedings of the 24th International Shock Interaction Symposium, SIS-2022, 17-20 October, Chennai, India /edited by G.
