Britain in the Last Dec 330 8 $aAnnotation$bThe 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. 410 0$aCass series--Cold War history ;$v5. 606 $aWorld politics$y1975-1985$vCongresses 606 $aPerestroika$vCongresses 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government$y1985-1991$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union$vCongresses 607 $aSoviet Union$xForeign relations$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aSoviet Union$xEconomic policy$y1986-1991$vCongresses 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xPolitics and government$y1945-1989$vCongresses 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aPerestroika 676 $a909.82/8 701 $aNjlstad$b Olav$01634125 712 12$aNobel Symposium 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807790203321 996 $aThe last decade of the Cold War$94191554 997 $aUNINA
