Recognizing the need for a comprehensive approach alongside defense and deterrence, arms control agreements were crafted to establish equilibrium between the nuclear forces of the superpowers, all while minimizing the risk of armed conflict. The involvement of the Soviet Union and the United States in Third World conflicts posed a significant danger of confrontation, and this issue is also explored in depth. The diplomatic strategies employed by the Soviet Union, the Third World, and the West, as well as their respective aims in arms control, are analyzed in detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book sheds light on the complex dynamics and negotiations that shaped the arms control landscape during the Cold War. It examines the strategies employed by different nations to balance their military capabilities, reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation, and foster stability in a volatile geopolitical environment. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the arms control treaties and agreements, including the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its examination of the historical context, policy considerations, and diplomatic processes, this book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay between arms control, international relations, and national security. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the history and implications of arms control in the Cold War era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 380g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367613341\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philip Towle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103864090874,"sku":"9780367613341","price":33.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_f730c472-0c0b-4381-9d90-469df6b0bb44.jpg?v=1656162854","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/arms-control-and-eastwest-relations-9780367613341","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
