Description: "This is an exploratory essay on the most crucial aspect of contemporary international security, Soviet-US rivalry in the third world. It focusses on the varying policies and ideologies produced by each of the great powers to conduct that rivalry and the illusions which these have generated. The chapters that follow will examine these policies in their own right: they have, however, developed and are perceived within a broader context of cultural and political change."--From introduction.
