The recent and ongoing crises in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf,
Central America, and southern Africa have been and continue to be
approached in very different ways by the United States and its West
European allies. Richard J. Payne shows how the many future
challenges to the strategic alliance of the U.S. and the NATO
countries will have to be adapted to a new and less confrontational
world, emphasizing the international economic situation over
political or ideological factors. Payne maintains that despite
years of divergent views on how to handle Third World trouble
spots, strains within the Western Alliance can be alleviated in the
future by diplomatic and cooperative means. This book provides a
comprehensive analysis of the underlying tensions, and cooperation,
between the United States and Western Europe in their approaches to
the Soviet Union, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Iran-Iraq
War and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, and
the struggle for ideological and political control of southwestern
Africa. American and European strategies and interests in the Third
World greatly affected the broader issues of detente,
Eastern-Western European relations, America's leadership abilities,
and ultimately NATO itself. The lessening of ideological
confrontations between Moscow and Washington, Payne affirms, was
followed by the revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe. This
volume will be used in courses on international relations, American
foreign policy, world politics, Third World politics, global
issues, and West European politics. It will also be of great value
to political scientists and policymakers.
