Raktažodžiai:
Originally presented at a conference reviewing threat perceptions, military doctrines, and war plans of the Cold War alliances--NATO and the Warsaw Pact--the twelve studies presented by Mastny (Center for Security Studies, Switzerland and National Security Archive, US), Holtsmark (Norwegian Institute for Defense Studies), and Wenger (also of the Center for Security Studies) are about evenly divided between papers limited to that original mission and those that go beyond discussions of threat perception and war planning issues to consider the politics of alliance management. Topics include Soviet strategic planning, Warsaw Pact exercises testing plans to invade Western Europe amidst nuclear war, the role of Czechoslovakia in Soviet planning, the relationship between military and political factors in NATO's strategic planning, Henry Kissinger's efforts to find a more politically feasible use for Nuclear Weapons, anti-hegemonic behavior within NATO, and US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's divisive efforts to get NATO to commit troops to American efforts in Vietnam.
