Detente: The Historical Dimension.

摘要

The study employs six historical case studies to demonstrate how detente has been a desirable and achievable short term diplomatic achievement but has seldom been a long term contribution to international stability. Cases include, Anglo-French detente, 1830's-1940's; German-Austrian rapproachement, post-1866; Russo-French detente, 1890's; Angle-American rapprochement, c. 1900; Anglo-French 'entente cordiale' 1904-05; Russo-German rapprochement, 1920's, 1939-41.
