What is Soviet-American competition all about? Is the Soviet Union
a security problem that the United States must solve? Or is it an
insecurity condition with which the U.S. must learn to live -- and
if so, on what terms? What kind of a player is the United States in
the great game of power politics? In The Geopolitics of Super
Power, one of our most respected strategic theorists answers these
and other questions. In geopolitical terms, Colin Gray sees the
Soviet-American antagonism as an enduring contest between a
continental empire and a maritime coalition, each with its
distinctive character and purposes. Gray explores the roots of the
American style in foreign policy and strategy, and how that style
relates to defense options. He identifies four broad alternatives
for U.S. national security policy: passive and active means of
containment, disengagement from foreign security commitments, and
the "rollback" of the Soviet empire. Gray argues vigorously for
active containment, for the systematic deemphasis of nuclear
weapons, and for the intelligent use, for deterrence and defense
purposes, of the West's great competitive strengths in the
political, economic, and technological spheres.
