From Confrontation to Coexistence: The Evolution of Soviet Foreign Policy.

摘要

To understand how detente has evolved from confrontation to coexistence and to gain some idea of what detente may be evolving into, it is necessary to review Soviet foreign policy since the inception of the Soviet state in 1917. Only by noting the directions that Soviet foreign policy tactics have taken in the past, can we hope to predict future Soviet policies. Perhaps the future of detente can be found in a study of its genesis.
