This work is the first comprehensive and systematic analysis of American and Soviet efforts since World War II to develop and carry out cooperative arrangements for improving various aspects of their overall security relationship. The pursuit of arms control is examined in detail as are other efforts at managing the superpower relationship, including the search for stability and a balance of power. The book is made up of twenty-one case studies, each by a highly qualified specialist on the subject in question. It examines both successful and unsuccessful cooperation, taking into account 'missed opportunities', and casting new light on post-war superpower relations. Scholars and students of international relations, peace studies, strategic studies, modern political history.
