This volume provides interpretation of this fascinating era of "Cold War" politics. The author aims to demonstrate how, in a transnational technological society, states and governments have to share power, and examines how national approaches to policy-making processes have been actively replaced by interdependent approaches. This text takes five examples of post-World War II sovereign statesmanship - Adenauer, de Gaulle, Thatcher, Reagan and Gorbachev - and provides a profile of each prominent personality and analyzes their respective "politics of interdependence". It also deals with the major changes that have occurred during this key period of world history - from the division of post-war Germany to its recent reunification; from "Socialism in one bloc" to Gorbachev's moves towards the interdependent world, and much more.
