The Spaceship and the Lifeboat: Metaphors for the 1990's. Detente as Future History.

摘要

The paper seeks to order the central trends and forces acting on detente into the 1990's. Viewing the future as history, two metaphorical constructs--the spaceship and the lifeboat--are developed within whose contrasting perspectives will be played out the main drama of detente and whose creative tensions will largely determine its course into the 1990's.
