Reaffirming containment: the Carter doctrine -- Conclusion. 330 $aBarbara Zanchetta analyzes the evolution of American-Soviet relations during the 1970s, from the rise of de?tente during the Nixon administration to the policy's crisis and fall during the final years of the Carter presidency. This study traces lines of continuity among the Nixon, Ford and Carter administrations and assesses its effects on the ongoing redefinition of America's international role in the post-Vietnam era. Against the background of superpower cooperation in arms control, Dr Zanchetta analyzes aspects of the global bipolar competition, including US-China relations, the turmoil in Iran and Afghanistan, and the crises in Angola and the Horn of Africa. In doing so, she unveils both the successful transformation of American international power during the 1970s and its long-term problematic legacy. 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1969-1974 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1974-1977 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1977-1981 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations$zUnited States$xHistory 676 $a327.73009/04 686 $aPOL011000$2bisacsh 700 $aZanchetta$b Barbara$f1976-$0479787 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788946803321 996 $aTransformation of American international power in the 1970s$9259353 997 $aUNINA
