Description:
"This book concentrates on two main lines of development: on the one hand, the rivalry between the superpowers and the effects of their power and influence even in the most remote corners of the globe; and on the other hand, the weakened position of the superpowers and the developments leading up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Eastern bloc. This book also describes the world after the end of the Cold War - a world of steadily increasing contact across national borders, yet where local factors gain ever greater significance. The world has become both larger and smaller at the same time."--BOOK JACKET.
