Description

The purpose of this book is to describe the causes and development of the Second Cold War. It is therefore about the 'making' of this Cold War in both senses of the word - about how it was brought into being, and how it has been sustained. It is an attempt to establish the main parameters of the international politics since the late 1960s, and to provide a rival interpretation to that wich is conventionally presented, in both east and west. 1 - Cold Wars, Old and New 2 - Constituent Elements of World Politics 3 - The Decline of US Military Superiority 4 - A New Period of Third World Revolutions 5 - A Right-wing Offensive in the USA 6 - The Involution of the Post-Revolutionary States 7 - Contradictions of International Capitalism 8 - Retrat from Detente 9 - The Great Contests in the 1980s: The Second Cold War to 1985
