"The Post-containment Handbook" is a source-book for anyone
concerned about US-Soviet economic relations and the upcoming
debate over their normalization. It is filled with original essays
and key documents charting the history of trade agreements,
diplomatic relations, and human rights issues as they bear on the
commerce between the superpowers. Debate on the issues will heat up
with the September 1990 expiration of the Export Administration Act
- the major instrument by which the United States has regulated
exports to the Soviet Union. The terms of the debate are clear -
the Soviet Union wants to enter the world economy; President Bush
has said that the United States must move beyond containment - and
that he wants perestroika to succeed. Top priority is a normal
US-Soviet economic and commercial relationship. The handbook
contains the text of such documents as the Jackson-Vanik Amendment,
the Stevenson and Byrd Amendments, previous trade agreements
governing credit, COCOM procedures, and extensive excerpts from the
Export Administration Act. Letters, laws, and original essays round
out the documentary portrait of this most important economic policy
arena.
