This history of the Strategic Defense Initiative ranges across
politics, economics, strategic studies and international relations.
It provides the results of research into the SDI interest groups,
the distribution of contracts and the politics of influence. It
discusses the wider contexts of 'Star Wars', such as alliance
management, marketing and domestic politics, and its military
spin-offs, especially for antisatellite (ASAT) and 'space control'
programmes. The author tests the theoretical literature on the
dynamics of the arms race by using SDI as a case study, and draws
evidence from sources such as congressional hearings, interviews,
the trade Press, restricted briefing papers, and documents obtained
under the US Freedom of Information Act. The book follows the
fortunes of strategic defence into the changed global conditions of
the 1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet bloc, the Gulf War
and President Bush's announcement of a refocussed SDI, the Global
Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS).
