概要 | Although in hindsight the end of the Cold War seems almost inevitable, almost no one saw it coming and there is little consensus on why it ended. A popular interpretation is that the Soviet Union was ...nable to compete in terms of power, especially in the area of high technology. Another interpretation gives primacy to the new ideas Gorbachev brought to the Kremlin and to the importance of leaders and domestic considerations. In this volume, prominent experts on Soviet affairs and the Cold War interrogate these competing interpretations in the context of five "turning points" in the ending of the Cold War process. Relying on new information gathered in oral history interviews and archival research, the authors draw into doubt triumphal interpretations that rely on a single variable, such as the superior power of the United States, and call attention to the importance of how multiple factors combined and were sequenced historically. The volume closes with chapters drawing lessons from the end of the Cold War for both policy making and theory building. Sure to generate debate, this book is an important contribution to the study of international relations and ideal for course use. Book jacket.
